KFPA Monitor and Control Hardware • Previous GBT Receivers used a descendant of the VLBA SIB. • Capacity: 64 Analog monitor, 256 Digital monitor and control points. • KFPA-7 Requirements: ~300 Analog, 270 Digital M’n’C points. • Single pixel KFPA prototype used an IIc bus system. • The LNA bias cards and cryo temperature sensing were inside the dewar. • A few learning experiences but very successful.
