Abstract :
An upgraded version of the control system for the Delingha 13.7m millimeter wavelength telescope is recently introduced. This new control system adapts the new installed multi-beam receiver operated between 85 and 115 GHz. This paper presents a general overview of this new control system, which performs many operational functions including star acquisition and tracking, receiver setting and monitoring, spectra analyzing and data storage, and observation scheduling based on a distributed computing system. Special descriptions are given to the frontend and backend control of the multi-beam receiver.
