P2.2 Instrument operability and functioning

• Phase : 2
• Status : Draft
• Category : Daytime testing (functionality and operability) (C3)
• Recurrence : once after instrument installation at telescope platform
• Duration : 1 day

Description

• The functionality and operability of individual components/sub-systems are tested. Verification of the internal alignment of the instrument is performed using the light source within. The final step is the performance of the system.

Prerequisites

• All electronics and services are up and running.

Procedure

• Initialize all the motors/sub-systems.
• Check the functionality of all the motors (home position, named/nominal positions, and reaching software limits).
• Check the working of all the light sources.
• Using the on-axis diffraction-limited light source, check the internal alignment of the SHARK-NIR.
• Check the relative positions of the coronagraphic masks.
• Check for on-axis optical quality.

Templates

Success criteria

• Motors and light sources are working as they should.
• The internal alignment is preserved.
• Performance of the system is acceptable.
