Duty astronomers at the Compact Array are rostered from ATNF staff and students to provide support to observers at Narrabri for periods of one week at a time. The duty astronomers are required to assist observers prepare observing schedules, help set up the Compact Array at the start of an observing run, diagnose and attempt to solve problems that arise in the course of the observations and help observers with the initial analysis of their data. ... www.atnf.csiro.au/observers/tidbinbilla . ...

The information path to prepare, perform and reduce a radioastronomical observation, using the Arcos correlator , is schematized in the figure: . The programs reside part on the computer network of the Arcetri Observatory, and part at the Medicina Radio Telescope . All programs running at Arcetri are written for a Sun workstation, and are public domain software, available upon request. Programs running at the telescope are written for a PC with DOS/Windows (or Linux).
