LAMOST远程无线监控系统研究

The Research of Remote Wireless Monitor & Control System for LAMOST Telescope

国家重大科学工程项目"大天区面积多目标光纤光谱天文望远镜"LAMOST(Large sky Area Multi-Object fiber Spectroscopic Telescope)目前已经进入了安装调试阶段,在2007年即将逐步投入使用.LAMOST总控系统是一个复杂的软件工程,需要对望远镜实时监控并给维护者提供多种控制手段.随着手机成为大众日常通讯工具,利用基于GSM(Global System for Mobile communication)网络的手机短信对LAMOST望远镜进行远程无线监控,已经成为总控系统的一种辅助监控手段.文章着重描述该系统的软硬件原理、接口、控制流以及安全性的考虑.该项研究的使用在国内望远镜控制系统中尚属首次,目前已获得国家发明专利申请号.

The R＆D of the Chinese 4-m ever-ambitious telescope, Large Sky Area Multi- Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope （LAMOST）, has advanced towards a new stage, and first light is expected at the beginning of 2007. The telescope control system is a complicated software engineering. Thus it needs to monitor the telescope around the clock and offers various ways to control the telescope. With the rapid development of IT technology one of the fashions is the mobile telephone carried around by average people mainly for daily communication, and mobile notes application has become a real hit. This paper presents GSM based remote wireless application adapted to telescope control, which can be utilized for greatly enhancing LAMOST＇ accessibility. The novel technique has recently been developed in LAMOST control lab. Test has demonstrated successful execution of Monitor ＆ Control （M＆C） commands for LAMOST through remote wireless mobile. The hardware and software configuration with techniques involved for reliable and secure communication is outlined in this paper too. It＇s is the first research for the telescope control system in China. The technique has gotten the national patent NO.
