Abstract

This paper describes the final integration and commissioning of the Gemini High Resolution Optical Spectrograph (GHOST) instrument control software. The instrument was developed at three separate organizations starting in 2011 and finishing in 2023 with the software control system undertaken by a team at the Australian National University. This scenario presented challenges during development and ultimately when integrating at the various labs in Australia and Canada and then commissioning at the Gemini South telescope in Chile. We describe the software aspects of this process.
