1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
This thesis documents the application of the Java language across several projects, the majority
of which, are dedicated toward the Automated Patrol Telescope. However, much of the
technology developed as part of these projects can be applied to other similar hardware
control systems.
1.2 Automated Patrol Telescope
These Chapters document efforts made to improve various software systems resulting in a more
reliable control system for the Automated Patrol Telescope. The APT is an optical telescope
managed by Michael Ashley and the UNSW school of physics.
• Chapters 2 and 3 provide a very in depth coverage of the existing hardware and
software currently used to provide the automation capabilities of the telescope. A
significant effort has been made to clearly document these systems to allow students in
the future to more easily understand and assist in its further development. Appendices A
through E are also very useful resources in understanding the APT system.
• Chapter 4 thoroughly documents the design and implementation of the
apt.masterswitch software enabling complete control of the APC Masterswitch
device.
• Chapter 5 covers the features and implementation details of an improved client user
interface to the APT utilising the JAS.
• Chapter 6 documents design decisions and implementation level details of an
automated software deployment system for the APT, integrating version control and
1.3 Additional projects
• Chapter 8 covers the design and implementation of the reusable SkinnedTextField GUI
component, designed to display telemetry information in high quality user interfaces. This
component is used in both the APT client application and the Spectrum Scanner software
• Chapter 9 introduces the Spectrum Scanner software, designed to control a radio
receiver and provide data acquisition, visualisation and analysis tools. This software was
developed for the SEARFE (Students Exploring Australia’s Radio-Frequency Environment)
project run by the CSIRO.
