Scientific paper

We discuss the present implementation of the data acquisition electronics and the planned upgraded version, together with the related algorithms, of the new Torino IR camera: TC-MIRC. A detailed description of the camera is available in M. Robberto et al., 1994, presented in this SPIE meeting. The electronic structure of TC-MIRC is based on a PC-compatible host computer, using IDL/Windows, and a transputer network for detectors management and data processing; the engineering advantages of an intrinsically distributed environment and the computational scalability are discussed. The data acquisition procedures (standard algorithms for coadding and nondestructive readout, and their use in normal operations) are evaluated, with respect to their present performance and to the upgrade needed to fulfill the design requirements.
