	1. For first phase, we will replace only the detector (in C-RED one; out PICNIC). It means that we will use the existing python GUIs which are optimized for taking the background ~~and for~~ plotting the power spectrum and the fringe searching. It means, first, we need to ~~take~~ the commands behind the FLI real time display GUI and apply them to the existing MIRC python GUI. Second, the C-RED software currently produces .raw extension and that needs to ~~convert~~ FITS extension.		1. For first phase, after discussion with John, I understand that we will replace only the detector (in C-RED one; out PICNIC). It means that we will use the existing python GUIs which are optimized for taking the background, plotting the power spectrum and the fringe searching. It means, first, I need to understand the commands working behind the FLI real time display GUI and apply them to the existing MIRC python GUI. Second, the C-RED software currently produces *.raw extension data and that needs to converted into FITS extension.

	2. Second phase, develop more appropriate GUIs in the software practices of CHARA (with GTK).		Also, C-RED data acquisition on a new computer with different camera cards. Optimize the MIRC DAQ software for the C-RED detector array and speed.

			3. Second phase, upgrade and develop more appropriate GUIs in the software practices of CHARA (with GTK software).

	3. Third, optics upgrades and so on.		3. Third, optics upgrades and so on.

			9. credoneDemo is the real time diaplay executable for the detector.








			B) Powering the first light data acquisition electronics:

			The real time display has following buttons:

			1) Important image acquisition settings
			a) Build bias and flat. Once they are build there are other clicable options to use them.
			b) Gain range selection button
			c) Exposure time (co-add of frames) settings for correlation double sampling (CDS) and single readout modes.
			d) Image crop option
			e) Save images buffer allows to acquire detector images with a user selectable number of frames.
			f) Various image display settings

			2) PELTIER Cooling system:
			g) power monitor
			h) temperature monitor





			C) Data acquisition: By changing the exposure time (or varying the number of frames), test detector images are acquired, for practice.
