74" / 1.9m - Instrument Selector

6 bytes added, 22 February
To select between the primary instrument and SHOC, a user can actuate the fold mirror in/out of the beam to direct the science beam towards the desired instrument (see Figure 2 below that indicates the button on TCS that actuates the fold mirror). When the fold mirror is IN beam and the guider's XY stages are "centred" then the guider camera also functions as a "target acquisition" camera for SpUpNIC/HiPPo, similar to the old system. Also as in the old system, the guider can patrol the area of the large annulas mirror to acquire an appropriate guide star.
