Computer Program for Point-Source Microwave Continuum Observation (FIVE) Program Document. Volume 2. System Description Manual

摘要

The report describes the technical structure of a computer program for observation of pointlike radio sources in the microwave continuum (called Five), using the Metsahovi precision radio telescope, which is operated by the Helsinki University of Technology. The Five-program is executed on a VAX II-computer, with VMS 4.4 as an operating system. The volume concentrates on the following topics: ADA programming language; VAX II-configuration; CPU (Central Processing Unit) KA 630; Operating system VMS (Virtual Memory System); Process privileges, which Five-program requires; I/O-devices including interface-card configuration; and Internal Structure of the Five-program with the Dependencies between submodules.
