Groundwinds Building Controls

The groundwinds building controls project is a ground-based Lidar system used to measure tropospheric and lower stratospheric winds. Process Results provided planning, design, installation and startup of controls for auxiliary instrument and building utilities. The facility featured a Programmable Logic Controller with a graphical computer interface. The interface integrated instrument power controls, laser tuning interface, laser shutter operation, video surveillance system, dome rotation, telescope rotation and dome shutter operation.
