A rapid evolution of electronics and information technologies makes it possible to use new original designs of synoptic telescopes for solar observations, to increase the demands on their functions, and to fully automate the observation. However, there are hardware and software limits that strongly influence the working capabilities of synoptic telescopes. In this contribution, we analyze relationships between the synoptic telescope's characteristics, the parameters of image digitization, the control, the achievable degree of automation of observations, and the possibilities to implement functions connected with the solar activity monitoring and image archiving. The principles listed above serve as a basis for the design study of the Auxiliary Full-Disc Telescope for the European Solar Telescope (EST), a pan-European project of a large 4-meter solar telescope.
