大型毫米波望远镜监控系统是由一组XML配置文件自动生成的。这确保了所有系统间通信和用户界面都符合通用标准。该系统最初设计用于控制望远镜的机电组件，但它很好地映射到仪器的控制。仪器的属性在XML中定义，随后生成控制和通信代码以及用户界面。这种方法在理论上工作良好，然而，当涉及到在实际仪器上安装系统时，出现了几个问题：仪器开发人员的目标，仪器开发人员的软件支持，硬件兼容性问题，以及计算机体系结构和开发环境的选择。在本文中，我们提出了上述问题的讨论，并提出了尝试解决方案。
The Large Millimeter Telescope monitor and control system is automatically generated from a set of XML configuration files. This insures that all inter-system communications and user interfaces adhere to a common standard. The system was originally designed to control the electro-mechanical components of the telescope but it maps well to the control of instruments. Properties of the instruments are defined in XML and subsequent control and communication code and user interfaces are generated. This approach works well in theory, however, when it comes to installing the system on the actual instruments, several problems arise: the goals of instrument developers, software support for instrument developers, hardware compatibility issues, and choice of computer architecture and development environment. In this paper, we present a discussion of the above issues and suggest tried solutions.
