William, thank you profusely for your post on using and upgrading the Pulsar system. It took a LONG time to write up and your efforts are most appreciated.

Stephen, actually there are times when the Scheduler closes the dome/roof. However for an unsafe weather condition, ACP itself has the responsibility to kill any run in progress and then safe the observatory.

As shipped, the ACP-Weather and Scheduler shutdown scripts depend on the park/close option being on (also the default setting). If you want to separate these functions by disabling this option, you will need to add code to both scripts to specifically close. The code for this is

Dome.CloseShutter

Note that this call will just START the closing process. It may take some time to complete (I just encountered a roof that takes six minutes!).
