Manually updating trackCenter during CANON 2012
===============================================

As of 1500UTC, 12 September 2012, the tracking functionality on TethysDash was not functioning correctly. This document explains how to manually update the tracking center for circling the ESP buoy.

Mission
-------
Tethys should be running _Science/trackCircle.xml_.

Right now, the vehicles should be headed to the surface every hour, on the hour:
    get track.NeedCommsMod
should return:
    (timestamp) logImportant, [CommandLine] track.NeedCommsMod 60.000000 minute

Tethys has been surfacing and communicating 4-6 minutes minutes after the hour. This means you want to send the updated tracking center _just before_ the hour.

Getting most recent ESP position
--------------------------------
The ESP buoy is tracked on [ODSS](https://odss.mbari.org/odss/) -- you can get the most recent positions by clicking the trajectory symbol next to the ESP entry in the platforms list, or go to the [MBARI tracking database](http://odss.mbari.org/trackingdb/position/ESP/last/1h/data.html).

Sending the position to an LRAUV
--------------------------------
For each LRAUV, copy and paste the decimal degree Latitude and Longitude to send in a freeform command, e.g.:
    set track.CenterLat 36.446047 degree;set track.CenterLon -122.585699 degree

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's all
