... Charge Coupled Devices (CCD) are currently by far the most widely used type of detector in astronomy. ... After a brief introduction to the VLT Control System, the VLT CCD Detectors Control Software is presented. The VLT Control System is a distributed system consisting of a set of UNIX Workstations, dedicated to high level operations, such as coordination of sub-system activities and interface to the users, and VME-based Local Control Units (LCU), dedicated to the control of sub-systems hardware. ...

... Some of these (e.g., 1 through 6) test specific components of the instruments while others characterize its performance within the HST environment (e.g., 7, 8, 17, and 22). Activities 12 and 13 align the NICMOS fore-optics; activities 9, 10, 11, and 21 enable the use of the coronograph in Camera 2; activities 15 and 20 characterize the detectors; and activities 18 and 19 establish the initial photometric calibration. ...
