P2.5 SOUL AO system tests

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

Description

• Proper working of the SOUL AO system is essential for the performance of the SHARK-NIR instrument. We test the working of the SOUL AO system looking at the on-axis PSF (RR) with known disturbances running on the ASM. Also, we test the working of the new features - the waffle mode and inserting a static disturbance to the ASM.

Prerequisites

• RR mounted and SHARK-NIR aligned to telescope.

Procedure

• a
• b

Success criteria

• SOUL AO system working in tandem with the SAHRK-NIR system.
• Acceptable improvement of the on-axis PSF (RR) while SOUL AO is closed with known disturbances.
• Get a new and improved daytime telescope model for SHARK-NIR, if necessary.
• Successfully running the waffle mode and setting a static shape on the ASM.

Notes LBTO support

• Mount the RR on SX
• Support from LBT SW Team, LBTI/Arcetri team.

Associated SHARK-NIR personnel

• JF, LM, MdP, MM (from AZ)
