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.

Could we please realign this so that the arc lines are uniformly illuminated. Action Log : 10/11/02 8:19:05 AM agilliot This action will require one day off with the instrument dismounted from the telescope to check the uniformity of the lamp calibration. According observers the present condition is acceptable and knowing the fact that the telescope will be closed on three months from now, it is not clear if intervention is justified. Priority is on Feros and the checking of the EFFI project validity. 11/7/02 11:11:43 AM agilliot possibilities for action these week ? Responsible : Engineering Dep.(Instrum.)

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). Action Log : 10/31/02 2:05:02 PM gandreon Since meli is not under our control a PC with Linux will be purchased and installed. DSS-1 will be first installed but the system will be configured to handle DSS-2. Responsible : Software&Commun.Supp.T.
