MICADO SCAO RTC: building the ELT first light RTC
The SCAO RTC of the first light ELT instrument MICADO has successfully passed its final design review. The RTC has actively begun the manufacturing, assembly, integration and verification phase. MICADO SCAO RTC hard real-time capabilities are provided by COSMIC, while the soft real-time features rely on the ESO RTC Toolkit. This talk will present the MICADO SCAO RTC architecture, the design choices and the current status of the project.
It will provide an overview of the H-RTC pipeline design, including performance benchmark and validation through simulation mode and on-bench tests. It will also picture the current status of the RTC Toolkit integration activities for the S-RTC on multi-nodes cluster including the first implementation of telemetry consumption, data tasks, data storage, data visualization, and H-RTC optimization.
