The wheel1 parameter file contains all of the information about the filters: their short identifiers (the name you type when requesting that Arcon use a certain filter, and the name that appears on the GUI), their full names, and their focus offsets with respect to the R filter. The focus offset is applied automatically when taking an exposure; Arcon assumes that the base focus value that appears in instrpars (see above and the section on the focus procedure) corresponds to the R filter. Normally, you should not need to change anything in the wheel1 parameter file; we recommend, however, that you check to make sure that the focus offsets are set to the measured values listed on the filter page.
