SiTech

The SiTech software runs Lesedi on 1ms1 (="1-metre server 1", i.e. Lesedi's TCS PC). 1ms2 is Lesedi's backup machine. There is a main GUI for the telescope (SiTechExe.exe), a communications GUI (ServoSCommunicator.exe), a GUI for each rotator (SiTechRotatorTCP.exe and "SiTechRotatorTCP.exe left"), one for the secondary and tertiary mirrors (SiTechFocuserTCP.exe), one for the dome (DomeControlTCP.exe) and a GUI that communicates with each subsystem's software (ObservatoryControlSAAO.exe). All of these GUIs must be running for the telescope to function fully, and only one instance of each can be run at a time, else problems will arise.
 
'''It is vital to ensure that no parameter is changed in any of these GUIs.'''
The software should be opened on lesedi-nuc, by connecting by ssh to 1ms1 and running the software using the mono library. If working remotely from Cape Town, VNC to lesedi-nuc:
 
1. Open Remmina Remote Desktop Client, select "VNC" from the dropdown menu and double click on Lesedi_Nuc from the list of servers. Enter the password and the lesedi-nuc desktop will be displayed on the screen.
