Owl Image Aquisition App v3.6.2
Controller command and image aquisition software.
Critical: Version 3.6.2 contains an important sercurity vulnerability fix and should replace any previous 3.6.x versions immediately. The fix involves the removal and replacement of the log4j library, which was found to have a major security issue. This issue affects Owl only.

Gen III Documents
Installation and startup
Instructions for how to get a new system minimally operating.
DSP software
Some comments on the DSP software - assemblers, download application files, boot commands, some program notes.
Controller commands
A list and description of the boot and application commands that the controller can execute.
PCI commands
A detailed guide to the software interface to the PCI interface board.
Continuous readout
The controllers can generate many images in a continuous manner with only one start command by putting the images in a circular buffer in the host computer memory.
Temperature readout
The utility board generates 12-bit digital numbers proportional to the voltage drop across calibrated diodes that need to be converted by the host computer to temperature values.
External interrupts
The timing board execution can be interrupted by an external signal, causing the program to jump to an interrupt service routine.
