WEAVE Systems
The WEAVE project consists of nine technical systems each of which is designed to deliver a specific functionality and provide appropriate interfaces to adjacent systems. The following table contains links to the Confluence pages for these technical systems:
| System Name | Description |
| Two-degree Prime Focus System | This system consists of the Prime Focus Corrector which includes the ADC, the instrument rotator and the focussing mechanism. |
| Fibre Positioner System | This system consists of the pick-and-place fibre positioner and it's software, the tumbler, the large IFU head and part of the acquisition and guidance subsystem. in addition to this, the Configure Tool is also part of this system. |
| Fibre Systems | This system consists of the MOS fibres, the IFU fibres and the guide fibres |
| Spectrograph System | This system consists of the spectrograph and the science detectors. |
| Observatory Control System | This system consists of the software for controlling all aspects of the instrument, with the exception of the Fibre Positioner, and automating the observations. |
| Core Processing System | This system consists of the quality control of the science data, the operational repository and full image processing and spectral extraction. |
| WHT support facilities | This system includes all the modifications that are required at the telescope to accept the instrument and calibration of the focal plane. |
| Advanced Processing System | This system consists of the software required to carry out high-level science analysis. |
| WEAVE Archive System Working Group | This system consists of the data archive. |

This page appears to be blocking external access to other pages which inherit permissions from it... can we publish this page and see if that clears stuff? -For some reason I can't do that...
