外文原文Computer ControlW. Daley R. CareyGTRI, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA30332U.1INTRODUCTIONThis chapter discusses both the system and subsystem control computers. The purpose of the system control computer is to provide a single machine that will allow a user to control the operation of the CHARA Array. This computer will allow the user to acquire astronomical data, align optics, and perform diagnostics and is also responsible for interfacing with remote users and providing them access to the system. The subsystem control computer, on the other hand, communicates between the system control computer and each of the subsystems, controlling motors, solenoids, et cetera, and transmitting status reports on each of the subsystems to the central computer.U.2SYSTEM CONTROL COMPUTERU.2.1 FunctionalityThe system will provide a graphical user interface with the following functionality:_ Communicate directly with each subsystem_ Control all subsystems together as one unit_ Acquire and store data_ Display the state of the optics graphically_ Display environmental conditions_ Display any subsystem error conditions_ Control individual telescopes and all subsystemsU.2.2. RequirementsThe system computer needs to:_ Perform multiple tasks concurrently_ Share file information with other computers_ Communicate simple commands and data to subsystems_ Monitor and record real-time control information of the subsystems_ Provide Internet access for remote users_ Provide reliable and maintainable softwareFIGURE U.1. Communication and control signalsU.2.3DesignU.2.3.1HardwareA SUN Microsystems SPARC 10 was chosen for the system control computer. This machine uses the UNIX based Solaris 1.1 operating system which will allow multiple users to log-on and multiple programs to be executed concurrently. The SPARC 10 supports an Ethernet network interface which will be used to send simple commands and data to the individual subsystems. This network will also be used for aligning and
