 Abstract

The Prototype Optical Diagnostic Instrument (PODI) has been extended for remote control and image processing. A new breadboard called TELEPODI (Teleoperated PODI) resulted in which telescience and image processing for microgee instrumentation can be studied. Software libraries which have been developed to allow for remote control using several positioning devices are described. For the stake system in PODI these devices are stepper motors, to be controlled by two controllers in a daisy chained RS-232 configuration. Via IEEE-488 a Universal IEEE-488 interface is controlled. The digital I/O of this interface is used for the control of motorised drives which can be used for adjusting the plane of focus and control of a mirror for an interferometer as stake passenger. The extensions of PODI are being used for several projects related to image processing and telescience.
