Description
ELT SW Framework and Instruments based on it
ESO is in the process of implementing a new instrument software framework with the aim to help instrument developers in building the control systems for future VLT and ELT instruments. The framework, that is still in a development phase, is adopting many new technologies according to the ELT development standards but reusing proved concepts from its predecessor at the VLT. This project is...
ESPRESSO is a fiber-fed, high-resolution, cross-dispersed echelle spectrograph installed at the ESO VLT-Cerro Paranal observatory. Since it is one of the latest instruments installed at VLT, it has been an ideal laboratory to explore the new technologies envisaged for the forthcoming ELT telescope. The ESPRESSO control software is based on the VLT Control Software and uses the IC0 Field Bus...
We present the current status of the instrument control software of MAORY, the Multi-conjugated Adaptive Optics RelaY module for the Extremely Large Telescope.
MAORY is currently approaching the Preliminary Design Review (Apr 2021) and will serve as AO module for the first light instrument MICADO and for a future second instrument.
In particular first we give an overview of the functions...
The presentation will be organised in two main parts which are respectively an introduction covering general PA/QA topics, including a short overview of the ECSS Standards, and a specialised part addressing SW PA/QA principles, in which the ECSS related to the SW Product & Quality Assurance will be detailed.
