---+!! Commissioning Plans ---++ Outline: Through a series of observing runs, characterize the instrument and develop and test the automated operation. ---+++ Current Major Items: * Re-acquire pointing model data once secondary stabilized (should be done with SEDM RC) * Instrument Throughput: characterize both spectroscopic and photometric throughputs (Don, Nadia) * throughput now characterized with Standard stars. * Operational Efficiency: characterize procedures that will optimize target observing (Don, Nadia, Richard) * pointing still limits acquisition and requires astrometry.net interaction. Consuming ~40s of overhead per science target. ---+++ Completed Items: * Fix secondary vacuum system to improve pointing stability (Oct 13-17, 2016) * Re-acquire pointing model data once secondary stabilized (Done with testing camera, Oct 13-17, 2016) * IFU optics stabilized by clamp that replaces spring * Calibration Lamps: now fully automated * DRP wavelengths: calibrated using Xe, Cd, and Hg arc observations * RC photometry: automated pipeline completed * Instrument Control: robotically operated * Data Reduction: photometry is completely automated, spectroscopy required minimal interaction ---+++ Commissioning Reports: * [[%ATTACHURL%/SEDMCommissioningReport01.docx][SEDM Commissioning Report01]] -- Main.DonNeill - 19 Nov 2015
