New software and hardware controlling complex of the UTR-2 radio telescope

In 2013-2014, a new software and hardware controlling complex was developed and installed on the UTR-2 radio telescope. Controlling complex is designed for planning observations of discrete cosmic radio sources and areas of the celestial sphere, for programming control of UTR-2 pattern position with UTC time scale synchronization, for monitoring of control codes execution, as well as for control of other UTR-2 systems. Operating and control of the radio telescope parameters are carrying out by a host computer in a local area network or by Internet via a control and monitoring unit based on the ARM microcontroller STMicroelectronics of the STM32 set. The functionality of the new complex significantly automates the radio telescope operation. The report describes the structure of this complex, basic functionality and implemented radio telescope operating modes.
