Description
The description of the PESCA instrument control system is presented. The
PESCA instrument has been designed and built with the purpose of
studying the Solar Energetic Particles and the Anomalous Cosmic Rays
from helium to iron in the energy range 1.5-50 MeV/uma and will be part
of the Russian PHOTON satellite payload. The instrument comprises two
different blocks: the PESCA Instrument Amplification and Shaping
Electronics (PIASE), for the amplification and analog to digital
conversion, and the PESCA Instrument Control and Acquisition System
(PICAS), for the control of the whole instrument. A system has been
mounted to control and test the PESCA instrument. It allows the complete
control over the instrument, verification and validation of the PESCA
instrument (unit tests, integration tests and system tests) and PESCA
calibration, from a single PC under Linux operating system.
