SEMS Core Requirements

Discipline: 

See comments for current discussion..

The core requirements for SEMS are the environment-related data determined to be necessary at every LCOGT site. This data will come from LCOGT-operated sensors.

The core SEMS system is split into two levels of monitoring: 1) Critical monitoring, and 2) Operational monitoring. Critical monitoring sensors are necessary to protect the telescope from weather. Operational monitoring sensors are necessary for a successful LCOGT network, but are not critical for asset protection.

Critical Monitoring

  • Temperature
  • Humidity
  • Dew point (derived from Temp/Humidity)
  • Wind speed (and direction)
  • Wetness 
  • Particulate

Operational Monitoring

  • Barometric Pressure 
  • Sky Brightness
