Abstract

SHARK-NIR (System for coronagraphy with high order adaptive optics in Z and H band) has completed its commissioning phase at the Large Binocular Telescope. Four commissioning runs of one to two weeks each allowed the team to significantly strengthen the architecture of SHINS, its instrument control software. In this contribution, we present the main improvements: 1) the new engineering panel, dedicated to the Real Time Computing system; 2) the process implemented to correct non-rotating (instrument-driven) and rotating (telescope-driven) contributions to the Non Common Path Aberrations during field-stabilized observations; and eventually, 3) the internal communication upgrades between the software and the electronics, resulting in a consistent improvement of the observation software performance and of the web-based user interfaces.
