Abstract. IR-IMAC is a multi-utility software package developed to remotely control the Near-Infrared imager installed on the 2-metre Himalayan Chandra Telescope at Mt. Saraswati, Hanle. The core idea in the development of IR-IMAC was to effectively use the existing Open Source Code (OSC). We present here the features of IR-IMAC and its component-based development using Open Source Code approach.
