An infrared radiometer (the Infrared Radiometer for Millimetre Astronomy, IRMA) has been developed to measure the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere through its emission at 20 μm. Water vapor is the major contributor to signal phase error in submillimeter interferometric arrays and the principal source of opacity for telescopes operating at infrared wavelengths. While earlier versions of IRMA required hands-on operation, the desire to operate at remote and often hostile sites necessitated the development of sophisticated and robust software. IRMA is a distributed, real-time control and data acquisition system spread across three different computers, and can be controlled remotely over the network by command scripts or a graphical user interface client program.
