1. Lab testing

  • Initial camera set up in progress. Managed to read out a few blank images. Mostly setting up for remote testing.


2. Acceptance Test Procedure

  • Draft lab ATP for comment
  • LJMU will comment on what can be tested in lab vs on telescope.
  • Next step to flesh out methods for testing/test descriptions.


3. Items ordered

  • Collimator parts have started arriving (lenses, mounts, focus adjuster, etc.)
  • Filters have arrived in SA. Size confirmed: 33 x 33 x 5mm.


4. Linux version

  • Request to confirm desired OS for instrument PC. NE suggests 20.04 LTS, but TBC by software team.


5. Cables/fittings/AMPS

  • User retrofitting of different coolant connectors (currently barbed fittings) on the Andor camera is not supported, as per SB enquiry to Andor.
  • Mookodi cables accounted for, EL to confirm extra cables needed through derotator wrap for Lesedi.
  • EL/SB to confirm mass/dimensional/interface info for items in AMPS.
