== P2.6 Tip-Tilt internal fast loop test with ASM turbulence == - **Phase** : 2 - **Status** : Draft - **Category** : Daytime testing (functionality and operability) (C3) - **Recurrence** : after instrument installation at telescope platform - **Duration** : 0.5 day **Description** - To verify the SHARK-NIR internal fast tip-tilt loop (using CRED1 and SHARK-NIR ALPAO DM) using the ARGOS light source (only at zenith) for various seeing conditions simulated at the ASM. **Prerequisites** - Knowledge of Argos light source magnitude and the possibility to tune its brightness. **Procedure** - Use ARGOS light source (to be used only at zenith) and direct light towards SHARK-NIR. - Close the SOUL AO loop to have the best ASM shape. Keep the ASM static with the best shape. - Close the SHARK-NIR internal tip-tilt loop. - Take 10mins of data at the CRED2 and SCICAM. - Introduce 0.5" seeing at the ASM and close the loop. - Close the SHARK-NIR internal tip-tilt loop. - Take 10mins of data at the CRED2 and SCICAM. - Introduce 0.8" seeing at the ASM and close the loop. - Close the SHARK-NIR internal tip-tilt loop. - Take 10mins of data at the CRED2 and SCICAM. - Repeat the above steps for the selected brightness of the Argos light source **Templates** **Success criteria** - SHARK-NIR fast tip-tilt loop working efficiently within the requirements in all the seeing conditions. **Notes** - For the SN team: know in advance how many minutes of data can be downloaded from CRED2 or the ring-buffer size. **LBTO support** - Authorize SHARK-NIR - Permission to use SX-ASM and LBTI-AO - AO support **Date performed and by whom**
