This can be delivered in 2 steps, as discussed between NTT and SWC. Action Log : 11/2/00 10:40:17 AM jibsen SBA/JGU are currently studying the available documents and they will provide a deadline this turno. 11/9/00 2:15:54 PM gandreon According to a first evaluation three man-months of work are required. It cannot therefore be considered an action point anymore. User requirements should be formally forwarded asap to SWC team in view of a review. Also CFT is interest in this feature and it should therefore be included in the loop. 11/16/00 4:38:42 PM gandreon It seems that there has been a misunderstanding, and that the first two parts of this action could be delivered as early as December 15. To be confirmed by SBA. 12/8/00 4:31:36 PM sbaeza According to Javier Argomedo's Flat field Lamps Control software Design Description, the main developments stages are: stage 1 : add halogen lamps control to sofi stage 2 : general purpose flat field lamps (16 lamps on/off) stage 3 : general purpose continuous flat field lamps Stages 1 and 2 will be ready by January 13, 2001. Stage 3 will be ready by March 15, 2001. 1/4/01 2:13:36 PM gandreon Stage 1 completed. To be tested starting in the morning of January 6. 1/11/01 1:42:29 PM gandreon Test to be done on January 22nd.

According with action log of 08/12/2000 the stage 3 will be delivery on March 15 2001.. What happened with this date??? Current status of the development: ---------------------------------- stage 1: Implementation done. Online test pending to be performed on January 22nd 2001. This date was adopted because during the previous technical time (06/01 - 09/01) was a little bit risky to do it due SOFI started after that. stage 2: Implementation done. Offline test performed and some minor changes of the panel are pending. Online test will be performed by J.Guzman with the help and knowledge of NTT team during the following week. Deadline of January 22nd is not compromised. stage 3: Nothing are implemented yet. 1/24/01 2:00:16 PM sbaeza Stage 1 and 2: On-line test performed on January 19-20nd 2001. Sofi Flat field halogen lamps accepted by NTT (stage 1). General purpose flat field lamps need a last test to be accepted by the NTT team (stage 2). Stage 3: Under development. delivery for March 15 2001. 3/8/01 9:52:31 AM sbaeza stage 3: development and offline test is ready. test and commissioning on target machine will be during NTT tech. time, March 20-21 2001. 3/16/01 9:56:39 AM gihle Software is ready and it will require testing. It was agreed a new deadline for the 20th of March 3/22/01 3:13:34 PM sbaeza On/Off lamps tested on target machine during tech. time (20-21 March).
