Introduction

The Simons Observatory Control System (SOCS) library contains Observatory Control System (OCS) Agents for hardware being used by the Simons Observatory.

Users of SOCS should first confirm that OCS is set up and running correctly. Then SOCS Agents can be integrated into the system.

General usage of OCS is covered in the documentation for OCS, including network configuration and creating new agents.

In this documentation, we first describe how to obtain the SOCS code and enable SOCS Agents for use with OCS. Then we provide descriptions of each Agent and hardware simulator. We conclude with a brief devleoper guide for SOCS library code.
