Mopra Observatory Computers Overview for observers
2
ACC Mopra antenna bigrock legacyserver atdaemon processes Mopra:: multi camon tstsock2/clkgps/pcweather/mp_server mmdrive newcain warrum TCS gui mpccc mpcor spd mmdrive
3
ACC ● Direct hardware connections for control & monitoring ● Network connection to rest of system ● Control of attenuators, samplers, drives, position ● Monitor data for samplers, cryogenics, LNAs, modules
4
bigrock ● Debian linux with ATOMS java-based ACC control ● Atdaemon + atcalegacyserver + ACC = old ACC ● Atdaemon processes provide monitoring ● Web based at http://bigrock ● Monitor points to Mopra:: via mp_server ● Drivemon for positions via tstsock2 ● Atcalegacyserver for control of ACC tracking, scanning, hardware bits
5
mpccc ● Linux based correlator control ● Mpcor process controls BCCs & DUCC ● Cordat process writes RPFITS file with correlator data & monitor data ● SPD program for real-time display & help with troubleshooting
6
mmdrive ● Mmdrive PC controls LO synthesisers & tuning mechanism ● Communicates with mmdrive process on Mopra:: for synth & paddle control
7
warrum ● Solaris 5.8 system for general use & display ● Data reduction pipeline for on-the-fly mapping ● TCS (Telescope Control System) GUI interface for observing ● Communicates with MULTI program running on Mopra::
8
mopra:: ● VMS system - runs control & monitor software ● Background processes supply monitor data (mp_server, tstsck2, pcweather...) ● CAMON display for monitoring ACC ● MULTI program controls correlator, ACC & gets commands from TCS ● mmdrive program controls synthesisers for tuning & paddle for Y-factor ● newcain installs pointing parameters, aligns sampler clocks & changes cycle period ● sio_point for updating ACC pointing parameters
9
misc ● Mpclock – provides time signal to ACC & correlator ● Mpweathr – provides wind, rain, temp, humidity data ● Minos – CD writer & general use linux system
