The main corrector's function are compensation of field aberrations of the main spherical mirror of a telescope (diameter of 600 mm, f'=1200 mm) and increase aperture ratio. ...

... Fasti is also suitable to be used with very fast optical detectors, as those used in Adaptive Optics. ... It is suitable to be used with both DRO and CCD detector and it is also well suited for very fast optical de- tectors, as those used in Adaptive Optics. The design phase for infrared is com- pleted and we are starting to build the infrared version of Fasti. ... For Infrared version this part inherits the NICS 1 design, and for L 3 CCD uses a Marconi commercial board. ...

Next: OTHER DIGITAL BACKENDS: Up: Wide Band Observing: RDBE, Previous: The RDBE system Contents . The DBBC being developed for the EVN and many geodesy stations is also a system that samples at 512 or 1024 MHz and digitally filters the signals to the desired bandwidths. ... Support for the DDC personality of the DBBC has recently been implemented in SCHED, but should be used with caution. ... The frequencies for the band edges in the DDC personality can be set to any multiple of 10 kHz. ...
