The Durham adaptive optics real-time controller: Capability and ELT suitability

Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics 2015-06-05 v1 Instrumentation and Detectors

Abstract

The Durham adaptive optics real-time controller is a generic, high performance real-time control system for astronomical adaptive optics systems. It has recently had new features added as well as performance improvements, and here we give details of these, as well as ways in which optimisations can be made for specific adaptive optics systems and hardware implementations. We also present new measurements that show how this real-time control system could be used with any existing adaptive optics system, and also show that when used with modern hardware, it has high enough performance to be used with most Extremely Large Telescope adaptive optics systems.
