Overview

ICS Framework (IFW) version 1.0 is the first version of the framework being developed by ESO and intended as toolkit to help instrument developers to implement their control systems. After this version, we will continue with subsequent releases (major and minor). This version (1.0) includes only few components according to the incremental delivery plan of the IFW.

• Application Framework (rad)
• Test Framework (etr)
• Function Control Framework (fcf)
• Some miscellaneous libraries (ctd and dit)
