The DFM Engineering Telescope Control System (TCS), provides a user-friendly interface
to the telescope.
Utilizing an IBM compatible computer with multiple displays and a keyboard, you have continual position
display, status reporting, and an easy-to-use, menu-driven command set.
Our pointing model corrects for precession, nutation, aberration, atmospheric refraction, mount misalignments
and flexure.
Typically, the DFM Engineering TCS and pointing model will achieve 10 to 20 arc- second blind pointing
to a 60°
zenith distance.
Computer operation is simple. A total of 28 commands are divided into four submenus: initialization, movement,
rates and miscellaneous.
All commands are available to your external computer, allowing you to create your own custom user interface.
And the TCS becomes a peripheral to your computer system, allowing integration with your own observing
program.
