Thermal Monitoring System

We depend on the old Thermal Monitoring System (TMS) for measuring various temperatures around the telescope including for telescope focus correction and the water temperature of the cooler for NOTCam. The data are obtained through a set of sensor blocks and there is no working spare for these units. A significant effort went into calibrating and installing the present temperature sensors and to be able to keep on using them a new design to replace the sensor blocks is under development. A basic design has been made based partly on the old version but with newer components and with the interface changed to Ethernet.
