Pls replace this Pulpo by Adams module. The software aspects of this action point should be developed having in mind that it is very likely that similar systems will be integrated on 3p6 and Feros.

This is critically needed, and should be standard for all CCD-based instruments, as test exposures are frequently needed. It is not critical for IR instruments, since they continuously read out the detector. For SuSI, this is needed for the next SuSI2 run (Oct.22).

This is very ennoying and should be fixed so that it works as with the old SuSI2 system. Action Log : 9/30/2003 4:00:49 PM gandreon The SWC will study the request. Eventually an SPR will be issued.

Could you pls 1- check all the filters with respect to the angles listed in the Filter Table in the EMMI man. 2- re-measure all the EMMI filters with the spectrophotometer. Priority to the narrow band filters, but all filters would benefit of a maintenance of their transmission curves. Pls provide the new transmission curves digitally to SciOp (throug the filter DBase is OK). While 1- is a problem fix, 2- is an action point. Action Log : Responsible : Engineering Dep.(Instrum.)

The set-up procedure includes a basic maintenance of the optical elements: - blow dust with compressed gas - check surface for damages (and report them). However, the current procedure to blow gas is obsolete: it involves portable compressed CO2 mini-bottles that cannot be refilled anymore.

Action : A second transfer line should be purchased to give enough time for pressurizing before switching between two dewars. Action Log : 11/21/2002 3:55:49 PM gandreon Armin Silber is going to prepare it. 1/16/2003 2:41:18 PM gandreon One transfer line has been ordered by LGO. 3/20/2003 2:42:51 PM gandreon Lost somewhere. LGO is looking for it. 4/8/2003 3:49:07 PM gandreon Transfer line found in Garching. 5/6/2003 4:12:18 PM gandreon Msg from Coprosoft arrived today confirmed that the line transport is being processed in Garching. 5/20/2003 3:46:23 PM gandreon Arriving tomorrow! 6/16/2003 5:52:01 PM jpritcha NOT complete! According to Leo last week, he has the transfer line in his office, BUT it does NOT have a gauge. Therefore it must be modified and a gauge must be installed. Furthermore, since the gauge on the current transfer line is rather unreliable, I suggest that NEW gauges be bought for both the current transfer line AND the new one. Furthermore I suggest that these be of the SAME type as used by HARPS to evetually allow remote sensing. This will be better since it we will then have greater redundancy between the two instruments. 6/24/2003 3:01:50 PM gandreon The transfer line has to be completed. However the additional modification (Harps like) has to be considered in the frame of the upgrade project. 7/1/2003 2:47:27 PM gandreon Order for gauge placed today. 7/24/2003 9:36:28 AM apizarro L.Gonzalez is purchasing the LN2 level gauge to be installed to the new transfer system. 9/23/2003 2:43:13 PM gandreon Two orders have been placed.

The available listings show that commands are executed sequentially, meaning that during filter wheel movements no other commands can be sent to interrupt that action. This explains why it needs a power-cycle of the electronics to solve this problem. Due to this low-level limitation an abort button as requested is not feasible. Note: in order to improve the diagnostic of this problem tests can be carried out during the next technical time (30/09 - 04/10) to adjust the respective timeout settings. 9/23/2003 2:46:53 PM gandreon Electronic will investigate if a reset contact can be made available or if the power cycle will have to be used.
