The Dark Energy Camera (DECam) data acquisition and control system is called the Survey Image System Process Integration (SISPI). Implemented as a distributed multi-processor system, SISPI consists of a set of processes that will coordinate and perform image acquisition and deliver images to the data management system for processing. Separate processes for instrument control, image building and analysis, image acquisition and observatory control are built on top of an infrastructure layer that provides message passing and communications. Additional system components include a flexible configuration system and the facility database. The command protocol is implemented in Python using a client-server design pattern derived from the SML and SCLN communications software developed at CTIO. A publish-subscribe model has been added to support the distribution of telemetry data and alarm messages. The design of the graphical user interfaces follows the Model-View-Controller approach to distinguish between the actual information and the graphical representation of the data.
We will present the software architecture of the SISPI system and report on the current status of the project.
