AS HWP Not Rotating

K.Tanaka-san, Hirose-san, Ikeda(remote)

Tanaka-san reported that the AS HWP was not rotating. 
Upon investigation, we identified two issues. After correcting them, we confirmed that the HWP operates properly.

1. When using an HWP without an encoder, the number of steps corresponding to one degree must be set in `K1:SYS-HWP_IFO_AS_CT_PER_DEG_{P,N}`.
   However, the value was set to zero, resulting in a division-by-zero error.

2. Fractional angle values had previously been enabled for other HWPs equipped with encoders, and the same change was mistakenly applied to the AS HWP.
   As a result, the motor-control code failed to process the fractional value correctly, preventing the motor from rotating.

[Corrective Actions]
1. A temporary value of 150 was set to prevent the division-by-zero error.
   [medm] sitemap → SYS → HWP OVERVIEW → count2degree

2. The code was modified so that fractional values are not used for the AS HWP.
   /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/sys/k1/scripts/medm_hwp_calib.sh
   Before:

   INFLATE=0.0005
   SCALE=3

   Fractional values were used.
   After:

   INFLATE=0.5
   SCALE=0

   Fractional values are no longer used.

After implementing the above corrective actions, we confirmed that the HWP rotates properly.
To ensure accurate angle control, the value described in Item 1 should be properly calibrated.
