Action Log : 4/27/2004 3:21:11 PM gandreon This point requires a safety review to be conducted asap. 5/10/2004 4:41:05 PM gandreon Today this point has been reviewed by O Hainaut, G Andreoni, R Aguilar, and G Ihle. The point has been approved with the following conditions: - The remote closing of the hatches should be implemented. - An emergency remote stop should also be implemented. - The use of this feature shoud be logged and occurrencies should appear in the outrep report. - The Lock-pins insertion and the Hatches opening will only be possible locally. The remote operation should be done only in emergency, after closing the main mirror protection, and with great care to unusual noise. 6/1/2004 5:25:35 PM gandreon Implementation was more difficult than foreseen. Deadline extended. 6/1/2004 5:27:00 PM gandreon A cable carrying the mirror cover status to the auxiliary LCU will have to be installed by Telma. 6/8/2004 5:35:18 PM gandreon No interlock between mirror cover and hatches control should exist, only warning.

This value however is too high and risks to jeopardize the safety of the PMTs. According to the company specifications the PMT stops to be linear at 2.5M counts per second. I am asking to lower the maximum number of obtainable counts to 3M counts per second. The possibility to discharge the PMT to ground in such cases would increase safety. It is critical that the interlock maintains the present capability to be reset via software, *without* having to go to the telescope. Action Log : 6/1/2004 5:33:28 PM gandreon Approval requested to ODG. 6/2/2004 7:44:38 AM gandreon Dear Gaetano, Fine with me. Please proceed with the action. As mentioned by Gaspare, only the cut-off count rate must be changed, while the functional charcteristics of the interlock and the PMT performance must be kept unchanged.

The simplist is probably to install over the top of the old small flatfield screenThe reason for this action is that the SORIC screen is a high UV reflectivity material and we thus hope to be able to get sufficiently blue light into FEROS using this screen to properly flatfield the full FEROS spectrum. If this proves successful, a new FEROS-FF screen position will need to be implemented within the 2.20m TCS control panel, but that should probably be a separate Action point when the screen has been demonstrated to provide the required BLUE flux.

With a delay at least until mid June, this will mean at least 3.5 months from the date of creation of this Action Point. 6/1/2004 5:40:51 PM gandreon This action point was assigned on May 11th after being reviewed in the frame of the Feros project, part III. It had been rejected on March 30th because it was part of a larger project as mentioned dabove. Due to AGI illness, E Araya will supervise the delicate task of the reinstallation.

Action : Please make the following updates to the pecs configurations for 2.20m machines. 1) Archive the current version of feros@wferos:.pecs/misc-all.env This includes the definition of the PERLLIB environment variable. After discussion with JCGT + RSo it was agreed this variable was NOT necessary for the ferosmgr account. 2) Archive the current versions of .rhosts for the astro accounts on w2p2off, w2p2dhs, wferos and w2p2tcs. This action is necessary to allow access to these machines from the drl PCs currently providing the FEROS data backup. Action Log : 5/25/2004 3:02:35 PM gandreon A change in the Pecs configuration has to be propagated to all telescopes. Therefore it should be done in occasion of VLT software updates. The 360 wil be updated first, at the current deadline. 5/27/2004 3:17:22 PM jpritcha PECS is configured so that it is specific to each telescope... so I do't quite understand this comment... In any case, I spoke to Juan Carlos Guzman yesterday about this item. He plans to make the changes for the 2.20m during the technical time tomorrow (Friday May 28th). Furthermore, as discussed with him there is an additional request: The e2p2ops .rhosts configuration should be updated. A new version of .rhosts file has been configured in e2p2ops on w2p2tcs. the file is .rhosts.new. This version should be instegrated into PECs and then installed for all 2.20m machines.
