Abstract

The status of the DBBC.2 project is reported. The hardware of this second version of the DBBC system is complete and a number of systems ordered by some stations have been produced. Features of the available firmware and of that under development are shown including the latest implementation. The control software of the DBBC and the Field System interface has been revised to handle the version 2 hardware. Observational tests are continuing with the progressive removal of identified problems. Finally the system deployment at the telescope is discussed.
