Abstract

As part of the unattended operations objective of the DSN deep space stations, this filament controller serves as a step between manual operation of the station and complete computer control. Formerly, the operator was required to devote five to fifteen minutes of his time just to properly warm up the filaments on the klystrons of the high power transmitters. The filament controller reduces the operator’s duty to a one-step command and is future-compatible with various forms of computer control.
