20:30: we point telescope

LAN	Asti	ToF
-160k	460	84.0

FLAO Z stage is at 50mm, we change the ToF to 84us and we close the loop. We change in closed loop the ToF to 85.8us (the correct value for LUCI focus) but the system crashes.

So we close the loop on FLAO, 10 modes, stage at 27mm, ToF 85.8us.

LAN	Asti	ToF
-110k	410	85.8

We repoint the telescope on globular cluster, we set the FLAO on Bin4.

21:45: we implement the autogain: optimal gains are 10,0.6, 0.4 but trying to close the loop with these gains the system crashes.

22:15: we reoptimize the LGS spot size.

Vibration compensation coordinates system

We take several snapshots enabling the Vibration compensation system and rising the gain to make the system oscillate:

GLAO operation

we go back to the GLAO loop operation, we close 100modes on ARGOS:

20141201_065935	OL, seeing=*1.5"*

We run the autogain procedure. We run the TS on 10 modes but the system oscillates, we lower the gain on the first 36 modes to 0.5. We also increase the opening time to 1500ns to have ~4k ADU per subap.

1:00: we optimize the LAN parameters when the FLAO Z stage is at 40mm:

LAN	Asti	ToF
-185k	1100	83.8

We point again the double star with FLAO bin2. We close the loop on FLAO 150modes to have the proper focus on LUCI. The best focus is at 55mm...

PBL with LAN mirrors their reflecting surface becomes hotter than the backside with the laser propagation...

The working position for the FLAO DX with IRTC is ~52-54mm.

GLAO on [BDS2003]69

LAN	Asti	ToF
-160k	900	83.8

We move the ToF to 83us to minimize the LGS slopes values.

We point a single star with FLAO. Z stage is at 50mm, ToF is 84us.

4:00: we have implemented an automatic procedure to offload the LGS focus term on the ToF. Actual value is 83.736us.
