public BeamSplitterGuider(Map prop)

    Constructs a new guider unit. Differnt to acquire, we might have different errors on the catalog for two reasone, first the guider may see not as many stars as the acquire field, thus the the catalog error might be smaller. On the other hand, exposure time is short, thus the magnitude error might be higher.

    Sets the adapter master.
    
    Overrides:
    
    setMaster in class AdapterUnit
  - setGuidingLost
```
protected void setGuidingLost(Value losses)
```
    Sets the value counting the spurious guiding losses.
  - setTargetLost
```
protected void setTargetLost(Value losses)
```
    Sets the value counting the spurious guiding losses.
  - setWindPeak
```
protected void setWindPeak(Value windmax)
```
    Sets the value with the high-peaked winds.
  - setSeeing
```
protected void setSeeing(Value seeing)
```
    Sets the value with the target seeing.
  - setLightLoss
```
protected void setLightLoss(Value loss)
```
    Sets the value with the light loss averager.
  - setLightGain
```
protected void setLightGain(Value gain)
```
    Sets the value with the light gain median.
  - setPinholeMiss
```
protected void setPinholeMiss(Value miss)
```
    Sets the value with the target seeing.
  - setExposure
```
protected void setExposure(Value timeleft,
                           Value fractional)
```
    Sets the values related to exposure time.
    
    Parameters:
    
    timeleft - The value holding the exposure time left.
    
    fractional - The value holding the fraction of exposure done.
  - getUnitType
```
protected String getUnitType()
```
    The type of the guider unit is AdapterUnit.GUIDERTYPE.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getUnitType in class AdapterUnit
  - getMode
```
protected GuiderMode getMode()
```
    Returns the currently active guider mode.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getMode in class GuidingUnit
  - doUnitTask
```
protected ErrorEvent doUnitTask(String m)
```
    Doing the unit task means start guiding. Only if the guider mode was set to GuidingUnit.MODE_AUTO, the mode is calculated from the current wind, otherwise the appropriate guider mode is loaded. The unit task does not start or create the guider loop, this must be done after the unti task by a call to createGuiderLoop(long).
    
    Specified by:
    
    doUnitTask in class AdapterUnit
    
    Parameters:
    
    m - If the unit supports more than a single mode, otherwise null
    
    Returns:
    
    null on okay, or an ErrorEvent desribing the failure.
  - createGuiderLoop
```
protected TimerTask createGuiderLoop(long repeatperiod)
```
    Creates the guider loop, which can be used as a timer task. This method must be called after the unit task was done without an error, and piped to the adapter masters timer. For the benefit of knowing the guider period, the adapter master hands over the period in ms at which the task will be scheduled.
    
    Specified by:
    
    createGuiderLoop in class GuidingUnit
  - resetUnit
```
protected void resetUnit()
```
    Resets the guider unit. This is done only on first start of guiding loop, not at each restart, as we than lose the targetcounts.
    
    Overrides:
    
    resetUnit in class AdapterUnit
  - seeingAndPhotometry
```
private double seeingAndPhotometry(Guiding.RawStar pinhole)
```
    Takes a guiding signal and estimates seeing and photometry from it.
    
    Parameters:
    
    pinhole - The direct image of the star on the pinhole
    
    Returns:
    
    The fraction of light lost.
  - isViable
```
private boolean isViable(double left)
```
    Checks, if sending an error to request new guiding mode or to reposition the telescope is feasible. This depends on the value of the exposure time remaining and on the fractional exposure time.
    
    Parameters:
    
    left - The time in ms that must be left on the exposure.
