AMICA the Cryostat Telescope and Instrument Robotization at Dome C Puerto Santiago, Tenerife, March 26-29, 2007

Telescope and Instrument Robotization at Dome C Puerto Santiago, Tenerife, March 26-29, 2007 The AMICA Control System: Sytem supervision is assured by a PLC interfaced to the CPCI host : - vacuum system - dual-stage cryocooler - instrument temperature monitoring - racks temperature monitoring - cryogenic step- motors control

Telescope and Instrument Robotization at Dome C Puerto Santiago, Tenerife, March 26-29, 2007 The AMICA Control System: CPCI Computer The AMICA detector control electronics is built on a CPCI-Pentium host with a SKYTECH PMC array- control I/F. The PMC array controller drives via a dedicated fiber-link the analog unit providing detector biasing, clocking and video signal processing. Secondary chopper drive and monitoring can be done by the detector controller sequencer or, off line, by a CPCI process.

AMICA System Operation : The AMICA detector-controller commanding will be possible from three different sources : Telescope and Instrument Robotization at Dome C Puerto Santiago, Tenerife, March 26-29, 2007 “Local unit” (CPCI Camera Driver, Test) “Remote UIF” (Test, Commissioning) - Build camera commands - Build readout waveforms - Configure detector tables - Retrieve telemetry - Retrieve data - Quick look check - Archive data “Remote Command Flow”

Telescope and Instrument Robotization at Dome C Puerto Santiago, Tenerife, March 26-29, 2007 Commanding, camera configuration and data exchange is based on files. So the test operator interface can reside with simple files redirection on every networked computer. Command and Data exchange :

The remote test Interface with the acquisition software is based on the IDL-atv standard interface Boot MIR Load bias table Load clock table Read Telemetry Boot……OK Bias table….loaded Clock table….loaded Telemetry….. The AMICA Test Interface :

Telescope and Instrument Robotization at Dome C Puerto Santiago, Tenerife, March 26-29, 2007 Telemetry retrieval :

Image data files are stacked in core memory buffers: object and sky for chopper assisted observations. Frames are then summed up following the selected readout mode (single, multiple sampl. Etc.) to build the final image accumulators. Images (buffers and/or accumulators) are retrieved by the remote UIF via Ethernet for quick-look analysis and archiving.
