HEART On-Sky Results and Soft-Realtime Functionality
The Herzberg Extensible Adaptive Real-time Toolkit (HEART) is a collection of libraries and other software components developed at NRC-HAA that can be used to control different types of Adaptive Optics (AO) systems.
The HEART RTC design has two main components: the Hard Real-Time RTC (HRT), which include all the time-critical high-speed processing tasks; and the Soft Real-Time RTC (SRT), which include the non-time critical tasks such as optimizations and reconstruction generation.
This talk will cover on-sky results from a closed loop and open loop run. It will also touch on the functionality provided by the soft-realtime.
