All Sky Scanning Cloud Monitor is one of the instrument I developed as part of my Ph.D. The instrument works on the principle of measurement of sky temperature for differentiating between the clear and cloudy sky. A thermopile sensor is used to measure the sky temperature. Multiple sensors are arraned in the form of an arc, whcih then rotates around zenith to cover the whole sky. Below are the tasks performed by me:- 

• Mechanical design of the instrument
• Design and development of control electronics for the instrument. Electronic boards like Sensor Interface boards, and controller cum data acquisition boards were designed and developed.
• Work on Embedded software of the instrument. 
• QT based data acquisition software and LabVIEW based data analysis software.
• Installation of instrument at IAO Hanle, data collection, and paper publication.
