PNS MANUAL
The PN.S was commissioned at the WHT in July 2001. In order to

In addition a PC has to be connected via cables. At the same time
some knowledge of the WHT control systems is required. This page
and those linked from it will be used to collect this
information, and later similar information about the PN.S at the TNG.
