... This paper describes our application of the X Public Access ( XPA ) interface to the new version of SAOimage . XPA allows an Xt program to define named public access points through which data and commands can be exchanged with external programs. ... It provides a high-level image display programming interface as well as low-level access to gterm-image widget functions. ... When a new file name is sent to SAOtng , the appropriate header access program is run to gather the overall image dimensions. ...

The HTSC group has an access to a set of technological equipment for thin film preparation and laboratory measurement system for low temperature electrical measurements. The technological complex of the " Thin Film Oxide Electronics " Laboratory includes two clean rooms of the "1000" class, with a complete set of equipment for photolithography (spinner, oven, hot plate, mask aligner, chemical bench, de-ionized water source) in each clean room. ...

ATNF engineering research programs focus on developing, and applying, new technology and advanced design techniques to radio astronomy and allied fields. ... There are three groups within the ATNF engineering structure: . ... This project, designed to allow rapid alternation between radio astronomy and spacecraft tracking modes, was undertaken in collaboration with outside consultants and received an honourable mention in the the 1997 Institution of Engineers (Australia) awards program. ...

... We present a new cooled grating near infra-red spectrometer designed to acquire spectra at the TIRGO telescope in the 0.9-2.5 micron region with a resolving power of 1000, equiped with a Rockwell NICMOS 3 detector. keywords: Infrared Spectroscopy :: NICMOS 3 :: TIRGO . The LonGSp (Longslit Gornergrat Spectrometer) project is part of the work that the Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri is doing in order to build a new generation of instruments for the IR telescope of Gornergrat (TIRGO). ...

The X Public Access (XPA) mechanism is the heart of SAOtng. XPA allows an Xt program to define named public access points through which data and commands can be exchanged with external programs. ... Public Access Programming: Opening The Black Box That Hides Internal Data (from the 1993 ADASS Software conference) . ... Nearly all of SAOtng's menu functions also are defined to be XPA public access points. ... See also A List of SAOtng Public Access Points . ...

TclActor is a set of classes that allow one to write an actor for the 3.5m control system. ... Thus, to the extent that the underlying hardware controllers support it, an actor based on TclActor can execute multiple commands at the same time. ... Commands must be in the following format: [cmdId [msgId]] [verb [arguments]] where: . ... The device code tends to fall into several categories: cod
