| Abstract: |
The software system being produced by AAO to control the new 2-degree field fibre positioner and spectrographs is described. The system has to mesh cleanly with the ADAM systems used at AAO for CCD data acquisition, and has to run on a network of disparate machines including VMS Vaxes, UNIX workstations, and VME systems running VxWorks. The basis of the new system is a task control layer that operates by sending self-defining hierarchically-structured and machine-independent messages. |
