... The Palomar Testbed Interferometer (PTI) is a 110-meter baseline K-Band infrared interferometer located at Palomar Mountain, California. In 1999 an effort was started to provide more observer-friendly observation planning and monitoring tools, such as might be used in NASA interferometer missions. This session illustrates how these prototype tools aid in the observation of spectroscopic binary stars. ... In 1999 an effort was undertaken to prototype mission operations support tools at PTI. ...

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).

Back . This is one of two central "Knot-houses", operating the elements of main mirror. It contains operating computers Electronis-100 and net CAMAC equipment. Here the antenna-operators are on duty during a observation program. Local call: 2-50, 2-51.
