This full inspection will require the shutters be removed from the instrument and disassembled. Also, a new blade/slider coupler may be installed to correct an over constraint in the system, what I believe to be the cause of the recent failures. No special equipment required. Duration: 1 day. - Install and test modified SMS parts, including the Delrin groove plate in the Cassette and modified mask wings. I will need to partially disassemble the cassette box to install the Delrin plate. No special equipment required. Duration: 1 day. - Inspect Renishaw tape on the off-axis guiders, and replace as necessary. This task will require that the camera drive assembly be disassembled before the tape can be applied. No special equipment required - Install baffles on 150 l/mm grism and LDP. Duration: 1 day. - Wash the Field Lens. Somewhat major effort will be required for this task. The instrument panels must be removed. The light baffle between the field lens and collimator must be removed. The field lens will be hoisted off of and out of the instrument by crane. The field lens will be moved to a 'clean' environment. The lens will be removed from its lens ring and flushed with acetone. These task will be performed in reverse order to reinstall the ring. Duration: 3 days. - Throughput measurement of the Field Lens, both before and after washing. Time permitting - Take pinhole images with modified 5 pinhole aperture for continued light leak investigation. This task requires open telescope shutters, someone in the dome with a flash light, a darkened dome, and 3 hours. - Continued investigation of off-axis Shack-Hartmann issues including flexure measurements of the hardware using the digital micrometers mounted in various orientations around the optics barrel assembly. Equipment required: digital mics and mounting bases. Duration: 1 day. Please let me know if more information is needed.

Having discussed the schedule with Alan U and Alan D, it appears that late May would be best (even though Christoph would not be able to come to LCO), but late June/early July should be considered a possible backup. Sylvain. THINGS TO DO BEFORE THE RUN: --------------------------- --SBS: -install 6 Asahi (& Halpha) filters into filter holders, and then ship them to LCO (the current target date for shipment of these filters is March 7 from Japan; the new Halpha filter from Customs may also be delivered in 07A but there's no assurance of that). (Hare) -design and implement a way to hang the mercury lamp box behind the ET150 when MMTF is in the servicing position of the disperser wheel (Hare) --LCO: -measure transmission curves of new Asahi (& Halpha) filters (if time allows; alternatively, this could be done after run) (LCO staff) -complete tests of charge-shuffling mode at low/high intensity levels (could also be done during the day-time engineering) (Osip + ?) THINGS TO DO DURING THE RUN: --------------------------- Possible dates: 1. May 23-26 (+ May 30-? if needed): day-time engineering (IMACS would already be in f/2 mode) May 27-29: night-time engineering 2. June ?-30 (+July 4-?): day-time engineering (will PANIC be used on June 25-30 and could IMACS be switched to f/2 mode early on?) Jul 1-3: Night-time Engineering Day-time Engineering (Veilleux, Weiner, Rupke, Osip, Birk [remotely?], Hare?) -test Hg lightbox installation for parallelism of ET150 on Nasmyth platform (Hare) -exercise charge-shuffle mode of CCD with straddle mode of MMTF/IMACS s/w (Osip et al.) -find best X,Y values to parallelize etalon for all 6 Asahi filters (Veilleux et al.) -derive wavelength calibrations for all 6 Asahi filters for at least 3 resolution settings (z_coarse = -2, +1, +3). This requires taking well-sampled sausage cubes over ~1.3 x FSR at each setting (Veilleux et al.) -monitor ring sizes as a function of temperature of the electronic rack and outside air (Veilleux et al.) -monitor ring sizes as a function of PA(imacs) (Veilleux et al.) Night-time Engineering (Veilleux, Weiner, Rupke, Osip, Birk [remotely?]) -obtain data in charge-shuffle mode of CCD with straddle mode of MMTF/IMACS s/w -exercise scripts to reduce charge-shuffled data -observe continuum flux standards (and PN emission-line standards, when relevant) through the new Asahi filters to derive throughputs at these wavelengths.

Schedule of activities and personnel involved will be further detailed upon review of comments generated from PSR. From GISMO PSR support document: GOALS: GISMO operates as field re-formatter. That is, its principle effect from the perspective of IMACS is to manipulate (in a piece-wise fashion) the mapping of the sky onto the IMACS input focal surface. Most of the software work to accommodate GISMO within IMACS thus relates to this mapping, and much of the higher-level night-time commissioning tasks relate to measuring the astrometric transformations and checking their stability. By the end of the GISMO commissioning run, we aim to have completed the following tasks: Physical/Controls: ● add wiring to allow GISMO to communicate with the IMACS control computer ● verify reliable remote operation of the single axis motion in GISMO (the mask slide) ● verify reliable insertion and removal of GISMO from the IMACS mask cassette ● verify lock-up of GISMO and reliable communications at all rotator angles ● check for possible operator/instrument/telescope safety issues ● verify and document instrument storage when not in telescope Instrument Characterization: ● measure focus of each of the 16 GISMO optical trains, and adjust to common focus using physical shims on second mirror ● measure astrometry of GISMO in imaging mode and adjust current astrometric model in /maskgen/ to reflect 'as-built' values ● re-make and re-install decker plate (using mask laser cutter) to reflect 'as-built' astrometry, /if necessary/ ● check flexure stability of GISMO with rotator angle ● check GISMO susceptibility to scattered light at a range of locations within GISMO FOV ● characterize new f/4 grating ● characterize all 4 new filters, designed for GISMO operations ● check GISMO operations using relevant existing filters and gratings (principally, check for spectral isolation using appropriate filter/grating/tilt combinations) ● measure GISMO throughput as functions of wavelength for entire possible range ● verify GISMO central longslit mode Software/Operations: ● verify reverse mapping of GISMO images using updated astrometry ● verify reliable motion of GISMO mask at a range of rotator angles ● document repeatability and absolute accuracy of GISMO mask motion ● verify correct operation of mask alignment software on reverse-mapped images, at several sky positions and rotator angles ● perform test observations using both new and existing gratings and filters on bright objects ● execute test GISMO observations in standard micro nod-shuffle mode ● execute test GISMO observations GISMO 1/7^th macro nod-shuffle mode ● construct a GISMO engineering cookbook ● construct a GISMO operations cookbook for various observing modes ● construct a comprehensive GISMO homepage Training: ● facilitate flow of GISMO engineering and operations knowledge from build team to observatory staff ● ensure proper communication lines between observatory and build team in case of future issues ● document and respond to observatory concerns which arise as part of commissioning and the lead-up to commissioning Regards, Tyson. -- Tyson Hare // Mechanical Engineer // thare@ociw.edu The Observatories of the Carnegie Institution of Washington direct (626)3040268 / main (626)5771122 / fax (626)7958136 From veilleux@astro.umd.edu Sun Mar 25 02:55:24 2007 Received: from gemini.astro.umd.edu (gemini.astro.umd.edu [129.2.14.37]) by mailman.ociw.edu (8.12.8/8.12.8) with ESMTP id l2P9tNur017131 for ; Sun, 25 Mar 2007 02:55:24 -0700 Received: by gemini.astro.umd.edu (Postfix, from userid 5351) id 4F6C3CC6DF; Sun, 25 Mar 2007 04:55:23 -0500 (EST) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by gemini.astro.umd.edu (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4C248CC6D9; Sun, 25 Mar 2007 09:55:23 +0000 (UTC) Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2007 05:55:00 -0400 (EDT) From: Sylvain Veilleux To: mageng@mailman.ociw.edu In-Reply-To: Message-ID: References: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed X-Mailman-Approved-At: Wed, 28 Mar 2007 15:56:50 -0700 cc: thare@ociw.edu cc: Stuart Vogel cc: Sylvain Veilleux cc: bjw@as.arizona.edu cc: David Rupke Subject: [Mageng] MMTF engineering in 07A (updated) X-BeenThere: mageng@mailman.ociw.edu X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Magellan Engineering Plans List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2007 09:55:24 -0000 Dear Frank et al., Here's an updated list of items for the proposed MMTF engineering run in semester 07A. Late May would be best (even though Christoph would not be able to come to LCO). Late June/early July is now not very favorable for me. Sylvain. THINGS TO DO BEFORE THE RUN: --------------------------- --SBS: -install the remaining 4 Asahi filters into filter holders, and then ship them to LCO (Hare) -install the new Halpha filter from Customs, if it is delivered before then (I haven't heard yet from them so this possibility appears very unlikely...) (Hare) -design and implement a way to hang the mercury lamp box behind the ET150 when MMTF is in the servicing position of the disperser wheel (Hare) -design protective plastic covers front and back for the MMTF when it is not in use (but is still attached to its mounting plate). (Hare) -estimate the cost of putting the CS100 outside of the electronic rack in a temperature-stabilized container... (Hare et al.) --LCO: -measure transmission curves of new Asahi (& Halpha) filters (if time allows; alternatively, this could be done after run) (LCO staff) -complete tests of charge-shuffling mode at low/high intensity levels (could also be done during the day-time engineering) (Osip + ?) THINGS TO DO DURING THE RUN: --------------------------- Proposed dates: -May 23-26: day-time engineering (IMACS would already be in f/2 mode) -May 27-29: night-time engineering MMTF team members coming: -Veilleux & Rupke Day-time Engineering (Veilleux, Rupke, Osip, Birk [on-call?], Hare [on-call?]) -test Hg lightbox installation for parallelism of ET150 on Nasmyth platform (Hare) -exercise charge-shuffle mode of CCD with straddle mode of MMTF/IMACS s/w (Osip et al.) -find best X,Y values to parallelize etalon for all 6 Asahi filters (Veilleux et al.) -derive wavelength calibrations for all 6 Asahi filters for at least 3 resolution settings (z_coarse = -2, +1, +3). This requires taking well- sampled sausage cubes over ~1.3 x FSR at each setting (Veilleux et al.) -use the *new* CS100 outside of the electronic rack to monitor ring sizes as a function of temperature of the electronic rack and outside temperature to see whether the fluctuations are due to the high temperature in the electronic rack and/or the old refurbished CS100 now in use (Veilleux et al. with help from Osip?) -monitor ring sizes as a function of PA(imacs) (Veilleux et al.) Night-time Engineering (Veilleux, Rupke, Osip) -obtain data in charge-shuffle mode of CCD with straddle mode of MMTF/IMACS s/w (Veilleux, Rupke, Osip) -exercise scripts to reduce charge-shuffled data (Veilleux & Rupke) -observe continuum flux standards (and PN emission-line standards, when relevant) through the new Asahi filters to derive throughputs at these wavelengths. (Veilleux & Rupke) -science verification of these filters (Veilleux & Rupke) From schech@achernar.mit.edu Fri Apr 6 12:29:04 2007 Received: from achernar.mit.edu (ACHERNAR.MIT.EDU [18.75.1.150]) by mailman.ociw.edu (8.12.8/8.12.8) with ESMTP id l36JT3ur023772 for ; Fri, 6 Apr 2007 12:29:03 -0700 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by achernar.mit.edu (8.13.8/8.12.8) with ESMTP id l36JSvIp021209; Fri, 6 Apr 2007 15:29:01 -0400 Message-Id: <200704061929.l36JSvIp021209@achernar.mit.edu> To: mageng@mailman.ociw.edu Date: Fri, 06 Apr 2007 15:28:57 -0400 From: Paul Schechter X-Mailman-Approved-At: Mon, 09 Apr 2007 06:53:42 -0700 cc: geychaner@lco.cl Subject: [Mageng] request for Clay engineering time X-BeenThere: mageng@mailman.ociw.edu X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Magellan Engineering Plans List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 06 Apr 2007 19:29:04 -0000 Dear Marc, I would hope we could allocate one more night of Clay time during the May 2-4 engineering run to using TWOPROBE to align the telescope. I'm reasonably sure that our corrections will converge. Our tests on April 5th showed that M2, in particular, looks to be off by roughly 110 arcseconds, fairly consistently as measured on all three ports. I would propose that we start at the MIKE port and run two or three cycles of TWOPROBE. Assuming improvement, record new "nominal" values for M2 and M3/port1. Then switch to LDSS3 and confirm the improvement there as well. We may need to iterate and record new values M3 for port 0. I would need to modify the program to move only M3 (something that was lost in development). Then switch to MagIC; again check for improvement; displace M3 a known amount (say B+0.3/C-0.3) to resolve an outstanding sign ambiguity. I would hope that Glenn Eychaner would be able to work with me, as I would be participating remotely here in Cambridge. -Paul From auomoto@gmail.com Mon Apr 9 09:21:32 2007 Received: from py-out-1112.google.com (py-out-1112.google.com [64.233.166.182] (may be forged)) by mailman.ociw.edu (8.12.8/8.12.8) with ESMTP id l39GLWur002373 for ; Mon, 9 Apr 2007 09:21:32 -0700 Received: by py-out-1112.google.com with SMTP id d32so1085705pye for ; Mon, 09 Apr 2007 09:21:31 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=beta; h=domainkey-signature:received:received:message-id:date:reply-to:organization:user-agent:mime-version:to:cc:subject:content-type:content-transfer-encoding:from; b=nD0nk6sv3dSP8D8EdtkG5mfI3ZdEThP/p0hU3X6T3ZUtuHxbX+bB4QhEResK7TImfASVBBPonLOlVn55RtVeQvnuWSBpKzohUVPi7KVCNdqR2ie8NMHUwdtUppqRdu0SYDbOVCtTVj6G7nUY4vtUDYNLLVQB3r4c5KhYiKcuGa8= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=beta; h=received:message-id:date:reply-to:organization:user-agent:mime-version:to:cc:subject:content-type:content-transfer-encoding:from; b=B1cFr8qS8dqP9qqK4s3YCbbrgORa7XiSFD15B0GMDdMhh6P5xLzXIAlB1Ep6IvjTBRULJLcHrFuXf+Ia7WWhI0v3tdPGeXUd43zgG6tpl1yISohZRMQMT90LSYad8/X48kFroRBk3hglNWTJpfD2Q3kNxXng/PzfcKiCRqMvdEU= Received: by 10.35.126.2 with SMTP id d2mr11580131pyn.1176135691459; Mon, 09 Apr 2007 09:21:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ?192.91.178.130?

Let me know if there are any questions concerning the filter specs. Nominally the H-alpha filter is centered best in the f/4 beam, the Sloan set should perform fine in both foci.

I agree with Dave.  This can't happen during the engineering run at the end of May as it's over subscribed already.  If Dave can fit this in during the Panic run this is good.

Frank

The plan below is listed by task. The rough schedule of the work would be to complete the port preparation (including the cable wrap installation) by the end of the July engineering time, so that August engineering time could be devoted to the reinstallation and testing of MagIC. This schedule should be feasible if MagIC moves to the Baade, and it might be feasible if MagIC remains on the Clay. We won't know the answer to that until the SAC meets in mid May (although the arguments so far favor the Baade), so for now we should iterate on the telescope-independent aspects of the plan. Engineering time request (Baade?): 2007 July (install MagIC cabling and cable wrap) 2007 August (install MagIC and test MagIC on sky) Comments? Jim =================================================================== 1) Remove the present MagIC dewar and Leach electronics from the telescope. The dewar and Leach electronics form a unit that should remain together for the safety of the CCD. These would be packed for hand carrying back to MIT after the June run (June 12-15), and they would return to MIT with me. The remainder of MagIC (filter wheel, back plate, and stuff on the back plate that we do not bring to MIT) would be put into protected storage on the mountain. 2) Prepare the new telescope port (including guider) -- The Magellan staff would do this during regularly scheduled engineering runs. 3) Run cabling from instrument computer room to the telescope port. This could be done well in advance of mounting either cable wrap or the instrument. Presumably the Magellan staff would do it. We can supply an additional fiber cable, but a open question is whether the current MagIC cable set (including the CryoTiger line) is long enough to reach from the instrument room to the new MagIC port and go through the new cable wrap. Other than supplying an additional fiber cable of the proper length (TBD), are there any parts of this task that MIT should do? 4) Build the cable wrap assembly -- Paul is handling this, so he will have to supply the details. 5) Install the cable wrap assembly on the telescope (including running the cables through it). After this has been done, the telescope would be ready to receive MagIC. We have to establish the component tasks of this job (Paul is leading this effort from MIT). 6) Test the MagIC dewar and electronics upon arrival at LCO. When we return with the upgraded dewar, we should allow a couple of days to set it up and test it, to be sure that it survived the transport and performs as it did at MIT. Of course, MIT would take care this task. 7) Reinstall dewar and associated electronics onto MagIC main plate. This task involves modifying the MagIC back plate to accept the additional electronics associated with the second CCD that would have to be mounted. We will make a plan for for modifications to the back plate in June, but the actual work should be done when we return later in the summer (in case we decide -- in the course of our upgrade work at MIT -- that the mounting should be done differently from our ideas in June). We could carry out the drilling of additional holes and mounting during the return trip, but we would need access to the machine shop on the mountain. 8) Final tests. Presumably it would be worth testing everything after all the additional electronics has been mounted on the back plate, when MagIC is ready to go back onto the telescope. MIT would carry out the tests. 9) Reinstall upgraded MagIC onto the telescope. Presumably the Magellan staff would carry this out with us present. 10) Test MagIC on the telescope. Here we would be sure that MagIC works well when mounted on the telescope, with acceptable noise levels. We should allow some time to solve potential pickup problems. 11) Sky tests of MagIC on the telescope. We would want some sky time as a final check out. This should complete all the instrument aspects of the requirements for commissioning.

I talked to Sylvain and asked the FP2 tests to be switched to the last engineering night. This because J.Soto will be here on Tuesday and eventually we can make some progress and be still able to go on sky at night. If not it will be suspended. It was OK with him, even though he didn't know we had 3-4 hours nighttime assigned for that. I showed him the calendar on the web!! Daytime for troubleshooting the FP2 issue is also a problem, since the MMTF team is using most of it for calibrations. We'll try to work in parallel as much as possible. Serial over IP work will be done only if Patricio Jones has time and only in the equipment room.

During May 27-29, we'd like to measure the focus position for the SAO SDSS r-band filter on IMACS. We expect it's OK (optical thickness-wise) but want to make sure before releasing the filters for general use.

This is during the MMTF engineering period. I expect this will take 1.0-1.5 hours during the day. We'll need the filter and pinhole mask installed in IMACS. I'll ask someone on the IMACS/MMTF team to do the measurement.

Thanks,
Alan

Proposed Activities and Schedule for IMACS Engineering at LCO, Mar 24-31, 2007

1.  f/2 Throughput Investigation

Personnel required:  Alan Dressler, Tyson Hare
Personnel involved (as available): Dave Osip, Instrument Specialist

It is proposed that the prep work of this task would begin March 26 and would be carried out as not to disturb the function or performance of IMACS until the scheduled start of the Engineering Run on March 28th, or as allowed and discussed by the IMACS team, mountain staff and observer of record.  Prep work would primarily involve test equipment setup. 
Specifically, this item involves the following steps:

- Remove the f/2 shutter.  1 hour.
- Remove the f/2 filter server.  Remove filters from the server. 
Remove the insertion arm and cassette assemblies from the MOS structure.  Remove the filter rail assembly from the camera body.  4 hours.
- Remove the f/2 camera.  Using the dome crane the f/2 camera will be removed from the MOS box and placed on a cart on the dome floor.  2 hours.
- Disassemble the f/2 camera.  Employ the dome crane to disassemble the f/2 camera and remove optical elements/groups from the camera body.  3 hours.
- Measure throughput of the optical elements/groups with the laser/meter test equipment.  5 hours.
- Reassemble the f/2 camera and reinstall on the instrument. 
Reassemble, reinstall, and test the filter server and shutter.  1 day.
- On-sky image quality check.


2.  GISMO Testwork - Pending acceptance at the Pre-Ship Review

Personnel required:  Alan Dressler, Mike Gladders, Tyson Hare, Alan Baggish (?), Christoph Birk (?)
Personnel involved (as available):  Dave Osip, Instrument Specialist.

The following tasks need to be carried out to check to function and performance of GISMO.  Many of the tasks listed here could be carried out in parallel.

- Install GISMO electronics and cables.  5 hours.
- Align and calibrate GISMO grating.  2 hours.
- Update IMACS software with GISMO functionality.  2 hours.
- Test fit GISMO in the Slit Mask Server.  Install cable return hardware.  Check electronic connections and mechanical interferences.  3 hours.
- Test insertion motion and function of insertion mechanism.  1 hour.
- Test function and control of GISMO electromechanics and software.  2 hours.
- First order optical/focus testing.
- Deliver GISMO filters.


3.  Grating Calibrations

Personnel required:  Alan Dressler, Tyson Hare
Personnel involved (as available): Dave Osip, Instrument Specialist

This task will involve investigating the optical performance of the gratings and recalibrating as necessary.  This task is in response to reports that grating zero points and roll issues exist.  This task could be carried out from March 26-28, as permitted by both time and the observer of record.  6 hours.
