LGSW FoV center on PatCams

10:00: spots are within the LGSW FoV, we have strong coma: we must flatten the shell. We close the loop on LGSW only and then we save a shell flat: 20150630_ARGOS_LGSW.sav.

HEXA	-1.1	-7.9	-2.144	-51	245
BOARD	-69.9	-47.6	39.3

While the loop was closed on LGSW we take the best focus position on FLAO nulling the Truth sensing modes (FW1 on 50-50). Current positions are best for matching the 3 CalUnit spots within the 3 LGSW FoV. We must find the best position for each individual FoV:

The offset of the best FoV center on the BlueChannel is [0.15; -0.3] wrt the common center position = [-69.75; 47.9] We set the stages there and then we move by +/-3.0mm from this position to get the spot position on the PatCam.

Board X	Board Y	TN	PatCam pos
3.0	0.0	20150630_174759	[204; 127]
-3.0	0.0	20150630_175231	[156; 128]

Central pixel for the Blue PatCam is [180; 128]

We are also able to evaluate the patrol camera plate scale: 6mm = 10'' = 48px (@ bin4) = 0.208''/px

Comparing this value with the old one (taken by eye) we have an offset of [0.6; 0.4]''.

Yellow offset wrt P0 = [-0.12; -0.45] => Yellow center = [-70.0; -48.0]

Red offset wrt P0 = [-0.8; 0.9] => Red center = [-70.7; -46.7]

Board X	Board Y	TN	PatCam pos
0.0	0.0	20150630_213449	spot is in LGSW
3.0	0.0	20150630_213706	[199; 107]
-3.0	0.0	20150630_213951	[158; 130]

Central pixel for the Yellow PatCam is [178; 118]

Board X	Board Y	TN	PatCam pos
0.0	0.0	20150630_214304	spot is in LGSW
3.0	0.0	20150630_214531	[205; 128]
-3.0	0.0	20150630_214813	[158; 121]

Central pixel for the Red PatCam is [181; 124]

Red seems quite out wrt the old position... we try again the scan starting from [-70.7; -46.7] and we take the stage positions at which the Red pupil has 0 flux.

Board X	Board Y	Red flux	Dir
-70.7	-46.7	2200	center
-70.7	-45.8	0	+Y
-70.7	-48.2	0	-Y
-70.7	-47.0	2200	0
-69.3	-47.0	0	+X
-71.8	-47.0	0	-X

DX= 2.5mm = 4.2"

DY= 2.4mm = 4.0"

Best FoV Center for RedChannel @ [-70.55; -47.0]

Board X	Board Y	TN	PatCam pos
-73.55	-47.0	20150630_220453	[159; 123]
-67.55	-47.0	20150630_220759	[205; 130]

So new central pixel for the Red PatCam is [182; 126]

The 3 hot pixel positions have been saved into a new Patrol camera target: 20150701_075500.fits.

Piezo initial position

We go to the center of the Red FoV moving stages to [-70.7; -47.0]. Then we close the piezo loop and we take the mirror offset. We repeat the procedure for all the 3 channels:

Pupil	PI X	PI Y	Pup X	Pup Y
Blue	-5.06	0.20	768	514
Yellow	-2.00	3.20	270	722
Red	-4.02	-0.61	473	663

These new piezo positions have been saved into a new jitter initial position: 2015701_080100.fits.

LUCI2 best focus (N30 and N3.75)

11:00: we check the best focus on LUCI using N30 camera and closing the loop on FLAO.

BIN1: REC= 20150125_161348, because of dome light we cannot use BIN1

BIN2: REC= 20130916_221257, we take images on N30 while sweeping the Z stage.

We check the old N30 images taken during the FLAO+LUCI commissioning that were getting almost 70% SR with BIN1: Z stage was at 55mm (bwt LUCI was removed and reinstalled in the meanwhile), rotator angle was 210deg. Reference file: luci2.20150404.0173.fits.

So we move the LUCI rotator to 210deg, we set the stage to 55mm and we optimize the FLAO gains: we have something really similar... We sweep between 50 and 60 and we find the best focus N30 = 56.5mm. We take LUCI images at each step in the end we take 20 dark frames.

We move to N3.75 and we find that the best focus N3.75 = 60mm

New Rec test

15:45: we try the new TM reconstructors:

REC Tag	TN
TCoG48 bin2	20150630_225001
	20150630_225032
GLAO1 pyr bin2	20150630_231404
	20150630_231504

The 2 RECs seems to behave identically...

Mirror Panic @ 2015-06-30 23:16:34

Pockels cells test

17:00: at the end of the daytime we check the PC suppression:

TN	Sup
'20150630_020735', '20150630_020902'	94, 113, 125

The Blue and Red cells shows worse performance than yesterday, double hear start to appear...
