Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) Narrow Field Infrared Adaptive Optics System (NFIRAOS) real-time controller preliminary architecture
Dan Kerley,Malcolm G. Smith,Jennifer Dunn,Glen Herriot,Jean-Pierre Véran,Corinne Boyer,Brent Ellerbroek,Luc Gilles,Lianqi Wang +8 more
TL;DR: The NFIRAOS Real-Time Controller (RTC) subsystem which provides real-time wavefront correction by processing wavefront information to compute Deformable Mirror (DM) and Tip/Tilt Stage (TTS) commands is developed.
Gemini planet imager one button approach
