Figure 1: This diagram illustrates the APECS observing pipeline structure. The astronomer submits a request for a scan - encoded as a so-called Scan Object - to the Observing Engine which then coordinates all hardware and software tasks to perform the observation. It sets up the instruments, moves the telescope to the desired position and starts the data recording. The Raw Data Writer collects the data streams and creates an MBFITS file. After each subscan the Calibrator provides calibrated data and shows results on the online display for user feedback.
