+
offers to OISMT
a set of
GUIs to
examine the characteristics of the OBs and the state of their execution
.
OB DB:
Stores The
information regarding the OB definitions and their
execution
Queue Scheduler
A
ssist
the WEAVE operator in
deciding
which OB
is most suitable for observation
.
Embodies
a decision management system which shall accept various input constraints and using a scheduling algorithm, will produce a ranked list of candidate OBs to be observed.
Interfaces
with the
Sequencer
indicating which OB to execute next or to configure in the non-observable plate
Sequencer
Set up the instrument with the definition held in the OB
Responsible for taken Calibration and Science IntegrationsExecutes also non-OB sequences (daily checks, TCS focus, SPE Focus….)Interfaces with all the subsystems that comprise the WEAVE instrument:
ICS
Ensure that requests are consistent Provides the software control and feedback framework through which WEAVE will be operatedParameter Notice BoardWHT Global status cacheProvides a single point of reference for any WEAVE OCS client that wishes to determine the status of any part of the WEAVE control system
Quick Look Module
Analyses the
science
and calibration integrations
providing feedback
to the observer about the quality of the data obtainedSlide3
