Software packages
This page is part of the ING manual INS-DAS-23
Architecture for UltraDAS.
Packages that are part of UltraDAS
These packages have been produced as part of the UltraDAS project. The
packages are variously defined by a bill of materials (a .bom file) as
a module in CVS, or as an ad hoc collection of files.
controller software
is a collection of downloadable programmes (".lod files") for the SDSU
detector-controllers. These files currently have no version-control; control
via CVS is pending.
configuration files
is a set of text files that configure the camera servers and HCT for particular
cameras and instruments; see INS-DAS-25. These files are deliberately kept
free of version control as they are designed to be edited between system
releases.
SDSU-Sbus-driver
contains the device driver for the S-bus version of the camera-interface
board. (CVS)
SDSU-PCI-driver
contains the device driver for the PCI version of the camera-interface
board. (CVS)
udas_camera
contains the camera-server programme. (BOM)
udas_clients
contains the transient-client programmes that are specific to UltraDAS.
(BOM)
udas_hct
contains the HCT programme for use on Unix. (BOM)
udas_mimic
contains GUIs specific to UltraDAS. (BOM)
Packages that UltraDAS needs
These are packages that UltraDAS relies on that were not made as part of
the UltraDAS project.
libcia
contains the support library for the transient clients (BOM)
polymorph
contains the polymorph programme. (BOM)
talker
contains the talker programme. (BOM)
Packages that need UltraDAS
These are packages that rely on the services provided by UltraDAS.
observing log
depends on the format of UltraDAS' FITS files. (No version control apparent;
software is entirely outside the observing system.)
startup
contains numerous start-up scripts that call UltraDAS user-commands. (BOM)
udasrtd
contains a quasi-real-time image display for use with
INGRID; it depends on the details of UltraDAS' FITS-files. (CVS)
whtgui
contains a GUI that operates UltraDAS clients. (BOM)
