Generated by ARS on 9/6/02 8:51:39 AM ACTION ITEMS LIST FOR SUPPORT TEAMS AND LOGISTIC Telescope : ESO NTT Create-date : 6/23/02 4:28:52 PM Problem Short Description : Switching from Offline to Online the wheel position is not mantained if normal init does not work. 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.

Status : Assigned Deadline : 9/30/02 12:00:00 AM Deadline Status : Pending ________________________________________________________________________________ Telescope : ESO NTT Create-date : 7/4/02 2:48:04 PM Problem Short Description : Sliding doors can be controlled only manually. 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.) 9/5/02 3:41:49 PM rsoto A stop signal was provided to VME and the continue signal to open and close the door was replaced to a pulse signal. A suggestion done by Ricardo Parra, due to safety reasons, explains that is neccesary to provide of a continue signal that allow to stop the door when it is opening or closing in case the stop signal does not work. Is neccesary to change the pulse signal to continue signal again and to provide the continue pulse to the VME. Electric technicians will ask for the feasibility of this solution. The Software is ready to the actual configuration. Responsible : Software&Commun.Supp.T.

Action : Install a gauge to read horizontal position of the CES fiber projector. This is needed as the optimum alignment for the blue and the red path requires set up of the projector. Ideal would be a permanent solution, but at least a temporary one is needed before the start of the next CES run september 13.

ISG will investigate the possibility of preparing a new frame 3x3m. 9/5/02 3:20:08 PM gandreon The action is feasible. However: 1) SciOp should confirm that the excess size will not affect FF quality. 2) Two days are required. They should be allocated after September.

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. To be approved by LSO Management. 12/13/01 3:07:12 PM gandreon FGU sent an email to JME. 12/20/01 3:30:47 PM gandreon P2PP installation in Kila has been cleened up. For the installation on linux boxes, the Director wants written requirements in order to formally start a small project. 1/10/02 2:18:24 PM gandreon JIB volunteered to write draft requirements, to be reviewed by OHA. 1/31/02 2:20:24 PM gandreon Requirements should be sent to OHA. 3/21/02 3:55:01 PM gandreon A meeting is planned for tomorrow (OHA&ASC) 4/18/02 3:58:20 PM gandreon An update procedure has been defined.

Considering that the whole DSS-1 is ~85Gb, it is now feasible to have it entirely on-line locally on one disk. The work requested can be split in several consecutive phases: - install a local copy of DSS-1 with a web-tool similar to http://archive.eso.org/dss/dss - provide a configuration to point skycat to that local server - investigate the possibility to have DSS-2 on-line locally (volume eqv to 70DVDs).
