Daily Log:
2011 January 25:
FB: began pumping on CHAMP. Set up plan with Rafael for the alignment tool. Restructured the CHAMP directory on wolverine and updated the wiki instructions for CHAMP quickstart. Tracked power failure for CHAMP mounts to a disconnected cable on the MAXO box.
2011 January 26:
FB: there is an annoying gtk setting issue which makes running any gui remotely on anything other than OS X a problem. I've tried modifying the gtkrc on wolverine but to no effect. Worked more on the Alignment GUI, cleaned up the code to remove deprecated function calls and warning from IRCam gui. No more need to press enter to activate the channel (R1, L2, ...) selection.
2011 January 27:
FB: cooled the dewar, final pressure 6e-7. Started working on astropci code. Gone to JDM presentation at Caltech in the afternoon.
2011 January 28:
FB: refilled dewar, modified IRCam GUI to add automatic channel and quadrant selection. Started alignement of CHAMP table. Moved jdm_opds into a configuration file.
2011 January 29:
JDM + FB : debug of the spooler + saving data through rt_pipe. Needed to use sudo ./spooler... Found internal fringes on W1W2 B1B2, using the ESP RETRO and then delayline retros. See Champ manual for opd values.
2011 January 30:
JDM + FB: generating opd map. FB: Test of the repeatability of the pickoff mirror positions. Fringes at 3.3931 on ESP. GUI says 210175 offsets on both IR1 and IR2 (doubtful). Refresh does not work... Homing all. Flux drops from 100+ to 20... Moving back to 210175. Nothing at +/- 0.3 mm. Homing all.
