Fast Motor Maps

• Switched cabling from Set B to Set C
• Removed filters from camera
• Loaded "090314_setC_allmaps_adj3.xml" into MSIM for last known link lengths/centers
• Ran "2014_10_10_FASTmsimMotMap.lst" to create Fast Motor Maps
  • Used on-times of 0.3msec with 2.5ms intervals for both Theta and Phi motors
  • Moves of 10 steps between images
• Noticed odd results for pId 6 during Theta Fwd map. Phi Angle was nominally around 170deg, then jumped to 121deg for a number of moves before jumping back to 170deg. Note that at the very bottom of the image it looks like Phi jumped back to ~121deg again.
  • pid6 Theta Fwd Fast Map Log - Odd Result:
    
  • Possible source of this weird behavior is a shaft coupler de-bonding.
  • Based on visual inspection (Charlie) the coupler is still in place axially (hasn't slid off the shaft). Should continue to monitor pid6 for more signs of failed bond.
• Aborted MSIM script because pid1, pid5 and pid8 didn't make a full revolution on Theta Fwd. Need to add more iterations.
• Updated MSIM script and re-ran in MSIM
  • Moves of 15 steps and increased to 200 iterations for Theta
  • Kept moves of 10 steps for Phi
• Still seeing odd behavior with pid6 (Phi jumping between ~170deg and 120deg) on Theta Fwd results
• General observation is that Phi is drifting around on some of the results. Very possible that centers and link lengths need to be determined again
