Design of a Control Software for a CCD Camera with Dual-Speed Tracking Imaging on Same Frame

In order to observe moving objects (such as satellites,space debris,and asteroids)and still objects (such as stars)at the same time by a single CCD camera,we develop a novel CCD imaging technique named as Dual-Speed Tracking Imaging on Same Frame (DSTIS). As the analog circuit and digital controller of the camera have been made,what is needed is a software to control the camera.In this paper we present the design requirements of the camera control software,describe the design ideas and basic structure of the software,with the emphasis on the method and process of the design of the camera control module and the data upload module.These include the detailed methods for controlling the analog circuit.We finally present some test results and analyze problems that were encountered during the debugging.
