In the morning telescope is dedicate to LUCI1 MOS exchange.

12:15: telescope released, SX and DX CalUnit deployed.

LgswUnitSx FoV measurement

We do a sweep of +/-10" in 11 steps:

Results are very similar to yesterday's ones. However we did a mistake in the Rx and Ry determination. We measure the centers to be:

Pupil [Rx; Ry] PI
Blue [95.0; -128.0] [-0.60; -2.05]
Yellow [93.5; -130.3] [-4.00; 0.90]
Red [93.5; -132.0] [-3.40; 4.20]
From these position we saved a new jitter initial position: 20160309_213300

Hexa 4.80 1.00 -0.71 93 -128

LgswUnitSx closed loop test

We try to close with LGSW only:

20160309_210756 0.2,0.1,0.05 229.449 20151212_220700 -1 F F
We also acquire a new set for pupil motors positions:

Pupil X Y
Blue 350 421
Yellow 341 438
Red 525 412
and we save a new pupil target tag: 20160309_213652

Then we load a disturb equivalent to 1" seeing:

LUCI1 rotator was set to 341deg and the pupil derotator of FLAO was at 0deg.

We also measure the PCT of SX using CalUnit, since we noticed a drop in performance of the red PC:

Then we close the loop using the Pyramid as TT sensor (BIN2). Disturb was set to 1". Thruth sensing was on:

We try to reduce the gain of the 2 astigmatism modes to check if we could have better performance (astigmatism modes have a bigger residual rms than focus and other nearby modes).

LgswUnitDx subapertures definition

We start from 20151016_170000 subapertures set. This is a CoG set, with Internal source pattern. We define a new set for TCoG48: 20160309_235100

To produce a on-sky pattern of subapertures we must remove the central ones (89 on Blue, 266 on Yellow and 443 on Red) and the top row of the Blue pupil ( 66, 81, 96, 111, 126).

We create a new set using as centres:

Pupil Cx Cy
Blue 197 128
Yellow 78 69
Red 79 194
So we have the following subap sets for DX-LGSW:

  • CoG, on-sky: 20160310_000700
  • TCoG48, on-sky: 2060310_000900
