Description
The white light source is a subrack unit containing two Ocean Optics HL-2000-HP-232 halogen light sources and a
Moxa NPort 5450 serial device server. Serial ports 1&2 are used to control the light sources, while the remaining ports 3&4 are available on the rear side of the subrack.
This device is common to both sides of the telescope: in the future the 2 light sources will be used for DX and SX reflection on-axis sources. At the moment both sources are used on the DX side, one in reflection and one in transmission through the hologram
A spare unit with bulb exist and is stored
Argos3U in
ArgosCabinet3.

The DX unit is not stable. It continuously reset to the default OFF state. This might be related to low temperature. After redirecting the cooling flow it worked again. |
