There are a few automatic procedures to test the board alignment and performance.

All of them can be executed at the Python prompt of aoshell.py (see AlignmentScripting for a description of how to start the aoshell).

Pupil rerotator

• cd $ADOPT_ROOT/scripts (to change working dir)

• ./aoshell.py (to start Phyton)

• >>> execfile('tozzi.py') (from the Python prompt you can run the script you want)

• tozzi.py - moves the pupil rerotator and records ccd frame to check the rerotator alignment. The test can be automatically repeated at various XYZ stage positions. Supported CCDs are ccd39 and thorlabs (remotely from 4D computer). Saved files (located in/ home/labot/measurements/MuoviLeggiRotatore ) can be analyzed with the IDL procedure (allinea_rirot.pro) or (multi_allinea_rirot.pro) located into /home/labot/AO2.0/proctoz/Allineamento.

Scimeasure CCDs

• test_dark_ron.py - record dark frames at various readout speeds and computes Readut Noise (RON). Only ccd39 is supported.
