NGC — ESO's New General Detector Controller
Abstract
As the replacement for ESO's standard infrared and optical detector controllers, IRACE and FIERA respectively, ESO has developed a new controller — the New General detector Controller — that will be the default detector controller for all new La Silla Paranal instruments in the next decade. The basics of its design and functionality are described, and first performance examples are given.
