---+++ April 9, 2008 NGS Engineering ---++++ Summary The Palomar AO system has recently undergone a significant refurbishment. In the 4 months since November 29, 2007, we have: * Recoated the AO relay flats and OAPs, and repolished and recoated the DM. * Realigned the AO relay to provide a focus suitable for P1640 and SWIFT. * Modified the PHARO mounting cradle to move PHARO forward 3.5". * Modified the AO enclosure and added a PHARO FM3 enclosure. * Installed a new AO stimulus, with 594nm laser source. * Installed a new motor controller for Aerotech stages. The purpose of this engineering night is to demonstrate the readiness of the refurbished system for NGS-AO science. ---++++ Personnel and engineering schedules Planning to be present: Baranec, Bouchez, Burruss, Roberts.<br> Engineering schedules: ---++++ Procedures and test plans Please post your test plans on the [[TestPlans][Test Plan Library]] page, and add a link below. * Daytime tests * AO bench setup and checkout - J.
