Monitoring the state, status, and controlling additional set-ups of equipment for Holography Receiver use is done using Control Library for Engineers and Operators (CLEO) applications. These applications are run from the operator's control room workstation. In addition to their primary monitoring function, this software package can also be used to manually control observing functions. Specific information concerning CLEO applications is included in the on-line CLEO Manual.
Observing with the GBT and using its variety of backend instruments can be done interactively through graphical control screens or by running pre-planned observing tables. This interface uses a "windows" type environment. Setting up various GBT instrument and backend devices may be accomplished in both automated and manual modes depending on the observers plan. Specifics' concerning this software, and how it can be used in connection with the Holography Receiver, is discussed in the software's user manual. Please refer to it as necessary.
