The SHOC website may well have more extensive detail about this instrument. Details on instrument operation are below. We have tried to make the usage telescope specific, but it is very useful to know which SHOC instrument is mounted on the telescope you are using. SHOC can be mounted on the 1.9-, 1-m and Lesedi telescopes.
Users point their browser to the instrument location, and separate tabs appear to allow control of the camera, GPS, and filter wheel. As of March 2015, the control software is web-based.
Currently there are 2 full SHOC systems (shocnawe & shocndisbelief), and 1 development system running a different camera (shocnhorror). The SHOC systems consist of a filterwheel unit (with one or two filterwheels), a GPS unit for providing accurate timing triggers, an Andor iXon camera, and a control PC.
