The software is organised in two basic blocks:
- Real-time tasks that monitor the antenna and receivers:
- INTERP: this task dialog with the antenna microprocessors every
second, and occasionaly send command to them.
- FLAG1S: this task is a time checker. It is activated every second
through a dialog with the Clock microprocessor. It also handles the meteo
parameters.
- ASTRJ : this task does the astronomical computations to prepare the
input to INTERP. It is activated every time a new source is requested.
- Tasks that control and perform the acquisition:
- CORREL: this task controls the correlator data acquisition.
- CORREL_SPECTRA: this task reads the data from the correlator micro
when acquisition is finished.
- OBS : High level observing program, with integrated observing
procedures. Only one occurence of OBS can be running on BURE1.
- RDI : interferometric data acquisition program.
- Control and display tasks:
- XAFF : perform various display tasks, including computation of the
running amplitudes and phases.
- STSA : this program is used to display the antenna parameters related
to the pointing.
- STSH : this program is used to display antenna parameters related to
``survival'' (de-icing, etc...).
The OBS program is intended to provide complete normal operation of the
instrument. Accordingly, OBS assumes it has complete control over the
system.
