The MPIA-UKIRT-Project
Graphical User Interfaces

astroCam.tcl is the main control panel for the AstroCam CCD camera (Tip-tilt tracker). Together with the special FITS file viewer (draw) it is possible to select a star for tip-tilt correction, move the selected star into the optimum region of interest on the CCD chip and close the tip-tilt loop with the UKIRT secondary mirror.

auigui.dl is the real-time data display which allows easy visual inspection on whether tracking is working or not.

becgui.dl is the control panel for the 8-axes motion controller (bottom-end controller). This control panel gives full low-level control of all stages as well as high-level control e.g., selecting the camera angle in degree.

mcugui.dl is the control panel for the 6-axes hexapod system (secondary mirror mount, mirror control unit) and the sky shutter.
