Action : A test bench has to be built in order to adjust the heads (part of the lamp replacement task). Action Log : 12/14/2004 8:22:10 AM gihle WAiting for material. 1/4/2005 2:52:38 PM gandreon PR issued only now. Deadline changed.

It has the option of creating an OB with the standard's coordinates, the proper slit and grism, and this OB can be loaded into the BOB and executed. The advantage of this tool for service mode observations is obvious. The tool weas developed on Paranal by Andreas Jaunsen and the software team. PROBLEM: I configured the tool to produce OBs for SofI, however, it looks like there is a conflict with the configuration of the local implementation of the VLT software because netiher the SofI OB is produced, nor OBs for any of the other instruments - i.e. I tested the ISAAC configuration and got the same result. It could be a problem of permissions too. I need help with debugging the problem. Valentin Action Log : 12/21/2004 8:23:25 AM tshen It seems the problem was caused because two variables (obdSrcPath and obdDestPath) were not initialized in the stdsopSOFI.tcl's constructer. So the main program (stdsopsMain) couldn't find the needed files. 12/21/2004 3:14:19 PM gandreon Program working. To be included in the official configuration control system. 1/3/2005 8:19:36 PM tshen stdsop module was added into nttops configuration control module. Paul Le Saux was trained to use pkgin tool.

Action Log : 10/12/2004 7:08:20 PM agilliot Dichroic has faint hairlines scratches on the gold coating. This situation is already old and will be solved by a new coating to be done once calibrated the process to reach the required thickness. Some time ago a cover was requested to protect the dichroic when set to the park position. Closer the "diffusing" surface is from the detector and higher will be the background level . 11/9/2004 3:44:07 PM psinclai Waiting for AGi to begin tests with gold coatings. 1/11/2005 8:51:34 AM agilliot Dichroic has been dismounted and thorousghly cleaned The gold layer doesn't show reflection stain or irregularity. The transmission is non uniforme and could be related to the Cr layer underneath. Our small vacuum chamber is not operational and beeing upgraded these days. (too long pumping time, low limit vacuum is incorrect,...) Once operational the new gold layer will be done during the week 17-21 just before the installation date of the 20. if the vacuum chamber is still bad we will mount the cleaned gold dichroic. Chemical product to remove gold has been done and tested successfully Responsible : Engineering (Instrum.)

The lock handles must remain naturally open while the cable connector is being inserted into its chassis counterpart. Action Log : 12/2/2004 9:31:42 AM gandreon Dear Gaetano, Please proceed with the necessary changes.

( it seems actually that most of LaSilla web site too) therefore 76% is a too high filling factor. Although we are in process of cleaning our web site we should already look for more space. Action Log : 6/29/2004 5:13:19 PM gandreon Raid ready to be istalled. M Naumann to be contacted. 7/6/2004 3:20:40 PM gandreon No news on contact. 9/28/2004 6:53:31 PM gandreon M.Naumann has been contated. However, the disk occupancy has increased only 4% to 80% during the past 6 months. 10/5/2004 2:50:10 PM gandreon The venue of M Naumann is being planned for November. 11/9/2004 3:53:56 PM psinclai New problems found with the web server machines that need to be addressed. I add them here as the solution is the same: M. Naumann must provide maintenance tools and info. to la Silla IT to be able to do all these maintenance tasks. See new problem log by P.
