ARTEMIS is located at longitude 22. 41 degrees east, latitude 38.47 north. Observations cover the frequency range from 20 to 650 MHz. The spectrograph has a 7-meter steerable parabolic antenna for 110 to 650 MHz and a fixed antenna for the 20 to 110 MHz. There are two receivers operating in parallel, one sweep frequency for the whole range (10 spectrums/sec, 630 channels/spectrum) and one acousto-optical receiver for the range 270 to 470 MHz (100 spectrums/sec, 128 channels/spectrum). The data acquisition system consists in two PCs (equipped with 12 bit, 225 ksamples/sec DAC, one for every receiver) ,Windows operating system, connected through Ethernet. The daily operation is fully automated : pointing the antenna to the sun, starting and stopping the observations at preset times, data acquisition, and archiving on DVD. The whole system can be remotely controled.
