Description

The ELT Instrument Framework Software (IWS), although in its pre-release phase, has reached
a significant maturity and is already being used to implement the control software of new VLT
instruments (such as FORS1 and CUBES). In this talk I will present our experiences in developing
the so-called “special devices” (i.e. devices lacking a standard, commonly adopted implementation)
for the FORS1 instrument control software. In particular, I will present a few solutions which are
not yet discussed in the ELT documentation.
