automated test systems

ATS are in the process of system testing their first digital camera control systems installation.

ATs were recently asked to add a buffering management system to a externally supplied camera system. This buffering/management system was implemented on a low powered ARM system with limited memory, a , relatively, huge flash and dual Ethernet ports. The design for this system was built around a management buffering system that could be controlled by multiple third-part Digital Camera Control Systems.

This first external interface to be supported used XML-RPC as the external DCMS control with XML decoding being carried out on the ARM board. A subsequent system will be using direct FTP transfers to from another DCMS.
