TNG Tip-Tilt System Supervisor Library Reference Manual. Version 2.1

Luca Fini, Piero Ranfagni

Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri

Abstract

The report describes a library of C subprograms which may be used as building blocks for the development of the TNG Tip-Tilt system software on the Supervisor.

The manual is related to version 2.x of the library which has been modified with respect to the previous one in order to be compatible with the final version of the TNG_AO DSP code.

The manual is divided in two parts: Part I describes the routines used to control the DSP board; Part II describes the routines used to communicate with the APD Motherboard through a serial line.

The software has been implemented by Luca Fini (Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots.

È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo.) at the Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri as part of the development of the Tip-Tilt correction system for the Galileo National Telescope (TNG).
