* Jul. 22th: A problem in the Flywheel PLC prevented to park out the telescope (lost connection with PLC). Because of this trouble, we could not operate the telescope this day. Jul. 23th: By Koji's instruction from remote, we unplugged the power cable of the PLC and replugged. Then, the PLC is back online.

P14 (19.7.2019 - 5.8.2019)[edit]

  • Commissioning Shift Period: 14
  • Dates: 19.7.2019 - 5.8.2019
  • Commissioning Shift Leader: Yusuke Suda
  • Commissioning Shifters / Experts:
    • Drive: shift crew
    • Camera: Mitsunari Takahashi (until 23.7), Daniel Kerszberg (from 22.7), Juan Abel Barrio (22.7 - 2.8), Julien Houles (23.7 - 1.8)
    • AMC / Mirrors: Satoshi Fukami, Tomohiro Inada, Yoshiki Ohtani (from 22.7)

Summary[edit]

  • Drive
    • Adjustment of CSS locking was done
    • Installation of webcams are ongoing
    • New elevation bolt system has been tested
  • Pointing
    • New Az offset value (0.57) was derived by Satoshi
    • Strange PSF spot shift when the telescope passes Az of both 0 deg and 180 deg. Ongoing discussion between Drive and Optics experts

    • Almost full LUT for low-Zd (15-30 deg) was completed (some mirrors should be adjusted soon)
    • Current PSF in low-Zd: D80 = 34.8 mm (requirement: 25 mm)
    • We also took a PSF image for high-Zd (around 50 deg) and it was elongated. Confirmed the necessity of a different LUT for high-Zd
  • Camera (CaCo, EvB)
    • Module blocked at high rate (>15 kHz) fixed
    • CaCo: SIS became operable again
    • CaCo: Protection to prevent movement of SIS was implemented (Zd <90 deg)
    • CaCo: Protection of enabling HV for front light
    • CaCo: CalibBox can be controlled by CaCo
    • CaCo: All the needed controls of sub-system to take data only using CaCo interface were completed
    • New EvB v3 was installed and working well at high rate (>15 kHz), No more crash while changing state, Achieved faster transition (ex. READY → OBSERVING in 10 sec)
    • GPS was not receiving -> Reboot -> Work fine (receiver and DHCP working)
    • We took rate scans, pedestal and flatfield runs
    • We could take test shower data (with SIS, pointing to a bright star)
    • Standard data taking procedure with CaCo only was successfully tested (Mrk501)
  • Temperature monitor inside the sunlight protection for the wire
    • Eric saw smoke from the temperature monitor
    • Seems to be a power shortcut between the charging cable shielding and the positive pole of the battery on the PCB board
    • Replaced the damaged PCB with another PCB Also, connected the module to a solar charger
    • Eric asked us to try to monitor the temperature via “nRF connect” app, but we couldn’t find the signal (he is out of his office until August 26th)
  • Problems and Visits
