---+++ May 18, 2008 NGS Engineering ---++++ Goals While basic checkout and calibration of the NGS-AO system were successfully accomplished on [[Eng_080409][April 9, 2008]], performance tests were not possible due to clouds and poor seeing. The primary goal of this additional NGS engineering night is to complete the performance characterization of the NGS-AO system after the winter 07/08 optical bench relayout. A secondary goal is the testing of a new iterative reconstructor by L. Lessard and D. !MacMynowski. ---++++ Personnel schedule Planning to be present on 5/18/08: Bouchez, Lessard, Roberts, !MacMynowski. ---++++ 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 (1 hrs) - J. Roberts * Tune image on PHARO * Test iterative reconstructor with AO stimulus - L. Lessard * Nighttime tests * PHARO vignetting: In twilight, verify even illumination of PHARO wide field. * [[%ATTACHURL%/../TestPlans/ngs_performance_testplan.pdf][NGS performance]] (3 hr; stable) - A. Bouchez * [[%ATTACHURL%/../TestPlans/palao_pharo_throughput_v1.pdf][Throughput]] (1 hr; clear) - A. Bouchez * Use Faint IR standards from [[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1998AJ....116.2475P][Persson et al. 1998]] * Iterative reconstructor - L. Lessard * Titan science ([[titan_080519][ephermeris]]) - A. Bouchez * [[%ATTACHURL%/../TestPlans/platescale_testplan.pdf][Platescale (PHARO, ACAM, LOWFS)]] (1 hr) - A.
