Abstract
The Wide-Area Linear Optical Polarimeters (WALOPs) are two instruments - WALOPNorth and WALOPSouth - that will be installed at the Skinakas and South African Astronomical Observatories respectively. Their goal is to work towards a polarimetric map of the Galaxy, for the needs of the PASIPHAE collaboration. The WALOP instruments, to be able to operate smoothly, require custom-made software to fit their (and the survey’s) specifications. We will present said software’s specifications and the methods and technologies used to meet these requirements.
