Camera Control System in MAGIC telescope — •Takeshi Toyama — Foehringer 6, Munich, 80805,

The MAGIC telescopes are currently the largest Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) in scientific operation, having two 17m diameter mirror dish and located at Roque de Muchachos on the Canary Island of La Palma. THE telescopes can measure very high energy gamma rays by detecting faint and short Cherenkov light pulses with from the gamma-ray induced air showers. In the conference I will report about the software used to control and monitor the performance of the various elements in the sophisticated cameras of the two MAGIC telescopes.
