Scientific paper

The DES mountaintop software must perform several tasks:
* Collect image data from the 496 megapixel camera and
collect the associated environmental metadata.
* Collect guider data (guiding is done with CCDs on the focal plane)
and send correction signals to the Blanco telescope control system.
* Perform sufficient real-time monitoring, analysis, and user interfaces
to assure the quality of the data being taken and to allow both automatic
and manual configuration and sequencing of the apparatus.
To facilitate community access, DES mountaintop software must be maintainable by CTIO staff. To the extent possible we are employing software packages that are either commercial standards or developed and maintained by CTIO.
