Action : modification in the SOFI SW: The "Fall Back Initialisation" does not prevent the function for which it is set to move during the ONLINE action. We would like to have this feature enabled: i.e. when a F/BInit is performed: 1- there should be a possibility to backup the database (little button to toggle), so in case of LCU reboot or ICS restart, the SW "knows" that there is a F/BInit for a given function 2- after a F/BInit putting the fiunction ONLINE should not trigger the HW init, i.e. the function should not be moved. 3- add a "restore" button on the F/BInit panel in order to remove the F/B Init when the function initialise properly again Action Log : 7/4/02 2:49:57 PM gandreon The VLT software release March 2002 has an undocumented feature that may be used. Pls contact R Schmutzer for details. 8/1/02 4:16:13 PM gandreon Point reopened. R Schmutzer should be consulted in PAO. 8/8/02 3:04:48 PM gandreon B Lopez will follow up.

Action : Provide conrol signals and status signals for the remote control of these doors. Signals must be compatible with the ones handled by VME digital I/O board. Action Log : 7/25/02 3:42:21 PM gandreon ISG claims that the signals are already available at one LCU. Point assigned to SWC. 8/8/02 3:12:29 PM jguzman This is the detail action list to be done on this. Module to be modified is nttbu: - Test using inducer tool the signals - Include the new commands for open/close the sliding doors in CDT and CIT files. - The signals are already configured by software, so only the functions handling with the open/close/status signals must be implemented - Add some buttons and status in the control panel. Estimation of the cost effort = 30 - 40 hrs approx. 8/22/02 11:10:53 AM rsoto The control software to open and close the door is ready and tested. Due to safety surprises at the electrical control of the NTT's sliding door, the software could not be installed. The door is not stopped when the safety sensor is activated because a continue signal is sent to open and close the door. A stop signal will be provided as a new bit at the VME to implement the stop command. This action point will be finished after proper setup of control signals (spent time including several tests: 2.5 days aprox.) Responsible : Software&Commun.Supp.T.

The workaround is manual edition. It'll be nice to do it before the VLTSW upgrade. Action Log : 6/21/02 1:51:08 PM ikastine The problem was reported in SPR 20010701 and corrected in pom module version 1.58. We are using currently 1.52. One problem remains, the INSTACO command install the pointing model to pomCO.dat file. We are using pomIM.dat file. This means the branch has to be created from version 1.58 to change file name. After this new pom version has to be verified properly to detect probable incompatibilities. I suggest to install and comission new pom version during the upgrade.

Action : After a Problem Request from NTT, Anton investigated the situation of P2PP,here is the report: 11/15/01 11:29:25 aschemrl During my Nov8-15 turno, the analysis of the problem showed the implementation and configuration of jp2pp is a MESS! There are 3p6 users running NTT configurations, which in turn are running WFI jre's. It is obvious that under these conditions a more restrictive solution would take longer to implement on kila, and may not be the ideal solution. This is not an NTT problem, it affects all visiting and local astronomers. A suggestion will be made to create a jp2pp template that will be applied at the time of lsusr account creation. This means running jp2pp on Linux machines that connect to the drl9 server. This will avoid configuration interferences and single user responsibility. This means that jp2pp would be removed from kila. Aproval of this proposal will remain pending until there is a global La Silla agreement among astronom Action Log : 11/22/01 2:37:39 PM gandreon It looks like a good idea. However, his implementation requires a configuration change of Kila & offline systems.
