Abstract

We are developing, the second generation of Immersion GRating INfrared Spectrometer, IGRINS-2 which will be a dedicated facility instrument of the Gemini Observatory. IGRINS has been in active operation for more than 8 years since 2014, including recent visits to the Gemini South telescope. House Keeping Package (HKP) of the IGRINS-2 control software monitors temperature, vacuum pressure, and Power Distribution Unit (PDU) of the hardware components, and controls PDU and calibration unit (the motors and the lamps). Slit Camera Package (SCP) and Data Taking Package (DTP) operate the infrared array detectors of Detector Control System (DCS). The interface board for each H2RG detector in IGRINS-2 has been changed from JADE2 to MACIE, which leads us to develop our own control software using the MACIE library in DCS. The IGRINS-2 software will communicate with Gemini Master Process (GMP) through Gemini Instrument Application Programmer Interface (GIAPI). This work presents the design and development process of the IGRINS-2 control software.
