Astronomical Instrument Control Using LabVIEW and TCP/IP
Abstract
The Aerospace Corporation has developed a near-infrared and visible spectrograph that is used for astronomical observations at Lick Observatory's 3-m telescope. This report describes the instrument control and data handling system, which employs a unique client-server TCP/IP communication model. The control and data acquisition system allows for extensive modifications and has simplified the system design.
