🔭 Aravis and ground based astronomy

Aravis was spotted in this article:

« A NEW COMMUNICATION INTERFACE FOR THE EUROPEAN SOUTHERN OBSERVATORY (ESO)’s VERY LARGE TELESCOPE TECHNICAL DETECTOR CONTROL SYSTEM USING ARAVIS, AN OPEN-SOURCE LIBRARY FOR GenICam CAMERAS »

The new, Aravis-based, communication interface has been benchmarked in order to compare it to the old, PvAPI-based, communication interface. Four tests were run for each communication interface. The tests were written in Python, and involved sending messages to the TDCS control process, via the CCS messaging system, to change state and perform commands.

As seen in Fig. 4, the new communication interface ran each test around 1.5 s faster than the old communication interface.
