Next: VLT Data Quality Control . Up: Dataflow and Scheduling . ... A key challenge for ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) will be responding to changing observing conditions in order to maximize the scientific productivity of the observatory. For queued observations, the nightly scheduling will be performed by staff astronomers using an Operational Toolkit. ... The MTS, developed by ESO, will be used to create candidate lists of observations (queues) based on different scheduling criteria. ...

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).
