---++Thursday 12th January 2017 Attendees: Don, Richard, Reed, Karl and Nadia *SEDM hardware report* * Don reports progress made with Reston on the design of the new enclosure. It shall improve the thermal stability, as well as reduce the weight of the instrument. * The downtime time for the instrument shall be ~9 weeks. *SEDM on Kitt Peak* * Caltech has a contract with the Kitt Peak telescope until 2018 with NOAO. Possibility of extending that. * In order to test the SEDM on Kitt Peak, there could be two options: 1) piggy back behind. This could be an easy option. 2) mount it on the side. It is desired to tot move the RoboAO too much. * If only the IFU is needed, then the design could be adjusted to a smaller space. A smaller camera could be added for guiding. * The instrument integration could imply to construct a global software which integrates the planning for RoboAO, the IR camera and SEDM together. These would be a project in its own, as it is non-trivial to create a unique schedule. *SEDM in India* * There is another potential good site in India, which could host another replica of SEDM. *SEDM software status report* * The first version of the code is complete and ready for testing. * There is a need for an intermediate layer which can hide some of the more complex steps. * Will start testing this functionalities in the current pipelines. * Any requests to add new fields to the DB tables will be sent to Karl. -- Main.NadiaBlagorodnova - 12 Jan 2017
