Developing System Components From Design Patterns on the Discovery Channel Telescope

NIWeek 2012 Big Physics and Science Summit

Presentation by Paul Lotz, Lowell Observatory

Abstract:

Explore the implementation of asynchronously communicating, hierarchical stand-alone components from a template developed using the Command, State, and Factory Method design patterns with by-value LabVIEW objects. These components control most systems at the commissioned 4.3 m Discovery Channel Telescope at Lowell Observatory, including the Active Optics System. Components deploy on desktop or real-time (CompactRIO) targets. Serialized objects compose a portion of the data that components publish via networked shared variables.
