FLAO Task List Jan. 26, 2017

• List of near term AO tasks
• V0.2
• 26 Jan. 2017
• Do not distribute

Email the above distribution additional tasks or modifications. This list will be sent to a larger distribution after few iterations and (possibly) discussion on Thursday

These tasks are in random order (not priority order)

Completion Date: March 6th, 2017, ARGOS run begins

WFS pupil shift during telescope offset

• IT #6333
• Affects AO nighttime operation: Limits the size of offset to <30"
• Data Collection
  • We have collected several sets of long AO closed loop telemetry (see IT #6333) and are waiting for analysis from Arcetri
• Resources
  • Arcetri: Alfio
  • Nighttime: 0.25 nights for testing
• Complete date: By ARGOS run, March 2, 2017
• Status: Waiting on Arcetri analysis

AO stage transformations on SX and DX

• Measure and confirm
• LBTO: Doug/Greg
• On-sky (0.25 nights)
• Affects AO nighttime operation: Offsets may not be properly aligned with detector
• Status: Doug's needs to re-process old transform data for SX and DX

Implement Tip/Tilt mirror Lookup Table to correct for rerotator (K-Mirror) misalignment

• Both SX and DX
• Data Collection
  • We have already measured a "rough" lookup table using the ARGOS CalUnit. Thus, the next step is to develop and build a process that will automatically apply this LUT offset voltage to the Tip/Tilt mirror
  • We will probably have to collect more measurement to refine the LUT. This can be done with the ARGOS CalUnit.
  • If the IRTC is mounted on the DX side when LUCI2 is in the lab for repair, we can use the IRTC for daytime measurements. In fact, it will be much easier to remeasure the LUT with the IRTC because we and rotate the instrument rotator and not have to worry or correct for instrument flexure. IRTC has been measure to have no flexure due to rotation.
• Resources
  • LBTO: Doug, data collection, testing
  • LBTO: Xianyu, algorithm construction
  • Arcetri: Alfio, advise
  • Daytime: ~1 day of Doug and Xianyu's time for algorithm building and testing
  • Daytime: 1 day with ARGOS CalUnit for data collection
  • Daytime: 1 day with ARGOS CalUnit for testing
  • Nighttime: 0.25 nights for testing
• Status: Waiting for advise from Arcetri
  • Doug pinged Alfio yesterday. They now have time to look into it
