The DECam DAQ System: Lessons learned after one year of operations
2014
The Dark Energy Camera (DECam) is a new 520 Mega Pixel CCD camera with a 3 square degree field of view built for
the Dark Energy Survey (DES). DECam is mounted at the prime focus of the Blanco 4-m telescope at the Cerro-Tololo
International Observatory (CTIO). DES is a 5-year, high precision, multi-bandpass, photometric survey of 5000 square
degrees of the southern sky that started August 2013. In this paper we briefly review SISPI, the data acquisition and
control system of the Dark Energy Camera and follow with a discussion of our experience with the system and the
lessons learned after one year of survey operations.
