Monitoring and control of onboard scientific equipment of the space radio telescope.

This paper outlines the methods used at the ASC LPI for generating instruction sequences that control operation modes of the onboard scientific equipment and describes the means for timely receipt of information about the current state of the onboard equipment, thus making it possible to quickly assess the adequacy of the selected modes for the solution of scientific problems and respond to emergency situations. The main points of interaction with other subsystems and their controls are briefly described. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
