Engineering 2013July
From Monnier Group Research Wiki
Goals
- Install new wolverine2
- fix mirc spooler bugs that cause loss of ople communication
Punch List
lab --- do super careful alignment of pzt feed on worst beam
check for pzt distortion using engineering beam on all beams
try to improve grounding on mirc?
- go rid of many peaks by moving mirc ground from the overhead pipe to the champ enclosure which is isolated by 3 chokes. maybe we need more chokes.
turn on vega camera and check interfermetence.
measure flux and xchan ratios for each beam with WL source.
> mirc and champ (?)
check tiptlit centers.
clean up wolverine python.
- unify mirc branches fb thinks python2.7 code will run fine.
- cleanup so we have a porpoer svn checkout version running under wolverine /devl and observe is linking to the /devel files.
- same for champ
Bug/Wish List
- default values of shuttermatrix
- get telescope beram order from chara shomehow for mirc and champ, including new buttons on guis.
- proper slts/prsm labels in fiberexplorer
- fix defaults (ftgui, mric shutter matrix)
- mirc: save xy and Z of fiber positions
- save POPS in mirc header
- mirkwood server should start w/0 vme on
- mirkwood spooler should run w/o all servers up (opler/tiptilt, etc)
- (recent) Delay line positions
- FIXED fix zeros in uv coordinates FIXED!!
- send ople a target time instead of 0 0 0 0 0 0 (not needed.. just use the HA which is returned)....
- mirc and champ: replace pulldown menus and text boxes with other elements.
- champ: ability to algin in wide field mode.
- champ. fix stop exposure crap (hard)
- champ. save syncronized spooler data even for large strokes
- champ. test phase tracking mode
Theo Questions
- client read socket in socket.c .. shouldn't there be sleep in this loop?
- we use sockman for ople but get same port number to use. normal?
Progress
- FB found problem with memory alloc in spooler. yay!
