== P2.5	TCS communication test == 

- **Phase**		:	2  
- **Status**		: 	Draft	 
- **Category**	: 	Daytime testing (functionality and operability)  (C3)	
- **Recurrence**	: 	after instrument installation at telescope platform
- **Duration**	: 	2 days

**Description**
- Communication with the LBT TCS is tested to verify that the interface with TCS works as expected. 

**Prerequisites**
- All electronics and services are up and running.

**Procedure**
- Test all the TCS functionality (sending preset, ADC trajectory, etc.) needed by SHARK-NIR, detailed in AD2.
- Check if the fits-writer is receiving all the right values from the LBT TCS.
- Check if the derotator trajectory is received from the LBT TCS. The trajectory verification with optical feedback will be done during the nighttime commissioning.
- Re-check if SOUL can access the SCICAM image from the agreed-upon folder.

**Templates** 

**Success criteria**
- Connection to LBT TCS is working well. All the test results are successful.
- The fits-writer is receiving all the right values from LBT TCS.
- SOUL can retieve the SCICAM image.

**Notes**
- Arcetri Team remote support is required.
- LBTI-AO team support is required.
- Note that although the actual work needs roughly about 2 days, a lot of it can go in parallel with other activites. So, for the estimation of the total days, only 1 day from here is considered.

**LBTO support**
- Authorize SHARK-NIR
- Permission to use SX-ASM and LBTI-AO
- Permission to send preset, receiving LBT telemetry (inc. the derotator trajectory) and details for the Fitswriter.
- Support from the LBT SW team
