Can ntp be used to keep time accurate to within 10ms ?

acquisition of data from OCRA

interface type (which part of the system?)

One person would prefer a list of commands (terminal) for educational purposes while observers prefer just something to click on or a single command to type.

• APECS - A&A Letter (see also: http://www.apex-telescope.org)
  • APECS - distributed control system - based on ALMA software - uses CORBA - python - A new self-descriptive raw data format (Multi-Beam FITS or MBFITS) has been defined to store the multi-beam, multi-frequency data. APECS provides an online pipeline for initial calibration, observer feedback and a quick-look display. APECS is being used for regular science observations in local and remote mode since August 2005. <- this may be interesting, but both CVS/TWiki are password protected :( --rf
