Next: MARK5 and EVLBI Up: Recording Systems. ... These are specified in the SCHED station catalog with the paramters CONTROL , DAR , RECORDER and DISK . The first element is the control system -- what software (and hardware) is used to control the recording system. The options that SCHED can handle for wide band VLBI observations are VLBA and VEX. ... The new control system will initially just control the new data aquisition system and recorder. ...

... A method is presented in which a signal, degraded by a linear shift-variant system, will undergo a warping such that the resulting warped signal will be approximately described by a warped original signal filtered by a linear shift-invariant system. ... The purpose of this distortion is to make the space-variant impulse response (which can be viewed as a space-invariant impulse response which has been warped in the original signal domain) vary as little as possible. ...

. An operating system is the program that controls all the other parts of a computer system - both the hardware and the software. Most importantly, it allows you to make use of the facilities provided by the system. Every computer has an operating system. The UNIX operating system has three important features; a kernel, the shell and a filesystem. The Kernel . The Shell . UNIX file system . More about the UNIX operating system .

The XPA messaging system provides seamless communication between many kinds of Unix programs, including X programs and Tcl/Tk programs. It also provides an easy way for users to communicate with these XPA-enabled programs by executing XPA client commands in the shell or by utilizing such commands in scripts. ... A program becomes an XPA-enabled server by defining named points of public access through which data and commands can be exchanged with other client programs (and users). ...

... 400mm f/2.8 Nikor lens: images the sky on the entrance slit. ... The optical system maintains image quality along the slit length so that each row of the image is a spectrum of that spatially selected region of the sky. 180mm f/2.8 Nikor lens: collimates the light from the slit. ... The auxiliary optical platform on WISPI now accomodates a short focal lens and a guiding/imaging video system that may use sub-pixel corrections to provide feedback to the tracking drive motors. ...

... The ESO-MIDAS system is built along lines which should allow easy integration of complex analysis algorithms as well as allowing greater flexibility in interactive use and in the creation of user specific procedures from the basic building blocks. The first design proposal for ESO-MIDAS, made late 1980, used some ideas from the UK STARLINK project for the software interface definitions. ... It consists of the following three parts, the monitor, the applications, and the interfaces. ...

... Cost­E#ective System Management Skip Schaller Steward Observatory, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721 Abstract. Quality system management of computer workstations for as­ tronomy can be achieved with relatively small manpower requirements, if the right cost­e#ective administrative design decisions are made. ... The system is designed so that one doesn't depend on four or more hosts, (such as a software server, cpu server, data file server, font server, etc.) to get work done. ...
