TCS is the online Telescope Control System maintained by the Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF). TCS was commissioned in 1999 and is still maintained as a general purpose observing user interface at Parkes and Mopra.
The application consists of:
- The TCS graphical user interface (TCS GUI) written in Glish/Tk running on a Unix workstation.
- A Glish client running on the same host as the TCS GUI serving as a communications channel between the TCS GUI and the controller.
- The telescope controller running on a Unix host.
The TCS User Interface manual is available here;
