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. 9/8/02 9:53:44 AM blopez Solution concept investigated together with RSC/PAO. BLO still following up. 9/26/02 3:00:26 PM gandreon Change is much more complicated than expected. A visit to PAO is required. A Loginotti has been involved.

Action : A "baffle" adapter, consisting of a flange identical to the FEROS adpater flange, support struts and a fourth baffle sould be fabricated asap. Action Log : 12/5/02 5:50:01 PM jpritcha It was recently discovered by AGi that some of the rings were installed in the wrong order. This should also be corrected at the time the new adapter is installed. 12/17/02 5:40:03 PM rmendez According to our Conf. Control Table, "...3. (12 December 2002) The system configuration was brought to be almost the same it was before 18 September 2002. The only difference is that the 20mm spacing between the WFI and the adapter remains (that is the M1 and M2 in focus distance differs by 20mm from specs). All the MPI time starting 12 December 2002 will be observed in this "old" configuration..." Therefore, please install the new baffle system (including the dummy for the Feros baffle if Feros is not installed) at the end of the MPI time, this is **10th of January**, which is the first night of ESO time after MPI time. 12/19/02 4:04:54 PM gandreon After dismounting them, the buffers position was verified and it was found to be the correct one according to the design.

Therefore also this deadline will be changed accordingly. 11/27/02 11:18:09 AM ikastine Lossam software was installed during MAR2002 upgrade. Additionally it was neccessary to install newest version of tcsmon, dicTCS and asm modules to NTT, 3.6m and 2.2m telescopes to be able fetch new information provided by ASM.

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. 11/21/02 2:57:01 PM gandreon Computer order has been placed. 12/19/02 4:06:07 PM gandreon Discs order prepared.
