Description
EMIR (Espectrógrafo Multiobjeto Infrarrojo) is a wide-field,
near-infrared, multi-object spectrograph, with image capabilities, which
will be located at the Nasmyth focus of GTC (Gran Telescopio Canarias).
It will allow observers to obtain many intermediate resolution spectra
simultaneously, in the nIR bands Z, J, H, K. A multi-slit mask unit will
be used for target acquisition. This paper shows an overview of the EMIR
software. Its architecture is distributed with real time features,
having in mind to build a reusable, maintainable and inexpensive system.
In this paper, we outline the main performances of the current design
and some examples already implemented are given.
