| 1 | == P2.8 Flexure tests == |
| 2 | • **Phase** : 2 |
| 3 | • **Status** : Draft |
| 4 | • **Category** : Daytime testing (functionality and operability) (C2) |
| 5 | • **Recurrence** : once at commissioning |
| 6 | • **Duration** : 3 hour(s) |
| 7 | **Description** |
| 8 | • This activity corresponds to the flexure tests for the SHARK-NIR. |
| 9 | **Prerequisites** |
| 10 | • If relevant, estimate and remove the NCPA using phase-diversity method. |
| 11 | • RR mounted on SX side. |
| 12 | **Procedure** |
| 13 | • Test the positions of the various opto-mechanical components within the instrument using optical feedback while moving the telescope in elevation. |
| 14 | • Change the velocity and acceleration of the movement of the telescope in elevation if required. |
| 15 | • Remember to perform the tests for all the observing modes (whatever possible with RR or internal light sources) |
| 16 | • You may want to disentangle the flexure of the RR while moving the telescope in elevation by comparing the optical feedback for the same movement with the internal light source. |
| 17 | • This test will also test the working of the LBTO AO system while the telescope is moving in elevation. |
| 18 | • Compare the results with that of Padova flexure tests. |
| 19 | **Success criteria** |
| 20 | • All the images and data are saved for analysis or to create the lookup table. |
| 21 | **Notes** |
| 22 | • If the test results are not satisfactory, this activity may be repeated again after making proper countermeasures to reduce the flexure. |
| 23 | **LBTO support** |
| 24 | • Support from LBTI/LBTO? |
| 25 | **Associated SHARK-NIR personnel** |
| 26 | • JF, LM, MdP |
| 27 | **Date performed and by whom** |
