  1. The Real-Time Sequencer B.D.Kelly, X.Gao

  2. Provide coordination between standard telescope/instrument subsystems at the sub-mSec level. Provide programmability for coordinating non-standard subsystems. Interface with the overall JCMT command structure (DRAMA) Provide time-stamping of the data-taking cycle. Specification

  3. Prototype has been delivered to DRAO. Supports standard subsystems. Final version of cpld design done. Choice of fixed integration or fixed sampling implemented. Time-stamping not yet implemented. Programmability not yet commissioned. Current Status

  4. RTS Overview Observation driver ACSIS Four-signal real-time link Drama messages Drama messages HARP-B RTS Tel Configuration files

  5. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 RTS Signal Sockets Output 1 Output 2 Input 1 Input 2 16 connection sockets

  6. RTS Initialisation File <Connections> <System name=“TCS” socket=“1” /> <System name=“HARPB” socket=“2” /> <System name=“ACSIS” socket=“3” /> <System name=“SCUBA” socket=“4” /> <System name=“ROVER” socket=“5” /> <System name=“RXB3” socket=“6” /> </Connections> This provides a list of the physical connections. It doesn’t say whether these are standard or non-standard subsystems, and doesn’t say whether they will actually be used.

  7. RTS Configuration File <Configuration> <TCS SC=“1” SR=“1” DV=“2” /> <HARPB SC=“1” SR=“1” DV=“2” /> <ACSIS SC=“1” SR=“1” DV=“2” /> </Configuration> The Configuration lists all the standard subsystems which are going to be involved in the subsequent sequence.

  8. RTS Sequence File The most trivial sequence file is:- <Sequence/> This means that only the standard subsystems as listed in the Configuration file are going to be used.

  9. RTS Sequence File (Cont.) <Sequence size=“4”> <position num=“1”> <putSC name=“RXB3” output=“1” value=“1”/> </position> <position num=“2”> <putSC name=“RXB3” output=“1” value=“1”/> </position> <position num=“3”> <putSC name=“RXB3” output=“1” value=“0”/> </position> <position num=“4”> <putSC name=“RXB3” output=“1” value=“0”/> </position> </Sequence>

  14. Time Stamping Plan • The RTS will have a structured DRAMA parameter which can be monitored. • At the end of each integration, the parameter will be updated with • sequence number • time when DV went high • time when DV went low • There are outstanding questions about the specification of this • is 20Hz DRAMA monitoring OK? (ACSIS spec.) • Is the RTS ever going to go faster than 20Hz? (Scuba2)
