Abstract

The MONSOON Detector Controller has successfully demonstrated the ability to control the complex image acquisition and real time processing required to achieve quality science performance from the Orthogonal Transfer Array (OTA) detector technology. A mosaic of four OTA detectors has been used to track multiple guide stars and apply charge shift corrections to compensate for real time image motion. The control algorithms required to achieve this have been embedded and distributed within the MONSOON controller to reduce the control loop latency and improve correction efficiency. This paper highlights the flexibility of the MONSOON architecture in supporting the many roles required by applications of scientific detectors.
