New ISIS Control System

The new ISIS Control System is now fully operative. Now it is possible to control all ISIS mechanisms from the same SUN station we already use to control the CCDs. ISIS mechanisms can be controlled with almost the same commands used in the old ICL computer, but from the WHTICS window, the same used to run ultraDAS commands. This allow the user to use scripts to change ISIS mechanisms and take images. The observer can also make use of an Instrument Control Console to move ISIS mechanisms in a very intuitive way.

Manuals  of the new ISIS Control System and the A&G Control System can be found here and here.
