P2.2 Instrument operability and performance

• Phase : 2
• Status : Draft
• Category : Daytime testing (functionality and operability) (C2)
• Recurrence : after instrument installation at telescope platform
• Duration : 2 days

Description

• The functionality and operability of individual components/subsystems are tested. This is followed by the checking of the internal alignment of the instrument using the light source within. The final step is the performance of the system.

Prerequisites

• All electronics and services 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.
• Finally, the performance of the system is again verified after the installation.
• Alignment of the TECCAM (hot pixel)

Success criteria

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

MB:I believe checking functionality of motor is included in previous point . However in success criteria is correct what you wrote

MB: performance checks might require more time than foreseen INCEASED TO 2 days
