本文介绍了微型极端宇宙空间天文台（EUSO）的数据采集和控制软件，这是一种用于观测广泛的空气阵雨和大气现象的天基荧光望远镜。该框架在Mini-EUSO的开发过程中进行了广泛的测试，并于2019年8月22日成功发射到国际空间站之前完成。数据采集、管理和子系统控制使用定制的前端电子设备实现，该电子设备基于Xilinx Zynq XC7Z030芯片，通过集成的Zynq处理系统与PCIe/104 CPU模块接口。仪器控制接口采用面向对象的c++设计，可根据需要自主运行和交互运行。虽然是为Mini-EUSO开发的，但软件和硬件的模块化设计可以很容易地扩展到更大的仪器设计，并适应不同的子系统和通信要求。因此，该框架也将用于EUSO-TA仪器的升级，并可能用于下一次EUSO-SPB2 NASA气球飞行。本文介绍的软件和固件是开源的，并附带详细的集成文档发布。
We present the data acquisition and control software for the operation of the Mini-Extreme Universe Space Observatory (EUSO), a space-based fluorescence telescope for the observation of extensive air showers and atmospheric phenomena. This framework has been extensively tested alongside the development of Mini-EUSO and was finalized ahead of the successful launch of the instrument to the ISS on August 22, 2019. The data acquisition, housekeeping, and subsystem control is achieved using custom-designed front-end electronics based on a Xilinx Zynq XC7Z030 chip interfaced with a PCIe/104 CPU module via the integrated Zynq processing system. The instrument control interface is handled using an object-oriented C++ design, which can be run both autonomously and interactively as required. Although developed for Mini-EUSO, the modular design of both the software and hardware can easily be scaled up to larger instrument designs and adapted to different subsystem and communication requirements. As such, this framework will also be used in the upgrade of the EUSO-TA instrument and potentially for the next EUSO-SPB2 NASA Balloon flight. The software and firmware presented are open source and released with detailed and integrated documentation.
