Introduction

Purpose of this document

This document describes the Observing System Computers at ING. The tables show the current systems for each telescope.

The Observing System hardware is composed of the following :-

  1. Instrument Control System computers (ICS Machine)
  2. Telescope Control System computer (TCS Machine)
  3. Data Acquisition System computers (DAS Machine)
  4. Data Reduction computer (DR Machine)
  5. Terminal Portservers (Port Servers)
  6. Autoguider computer (Autoguider)
This document does not describe the EPICS crates used for individual instrument control.
