Electronics and software

This part of the project is performed in Munich. Most electromechanical units (motors and encoders) have been procured.

In September 1994 the FDR for some of the instrument control software modules was held and coding started immediately afterwards.

Data reduction software for FORS specific instrument modes (mainly MOS and polarimetry) is being implemented in Heidelberg. The first finished context (MOS) will be included in the 95NOV release of MIDAS.
