1. Design Team Report: AO Operational Tools (aka Acquisition and Diagnostics) Christopher Neyman W. M. Keck Observatory (for the Operational tools team) Keck NGAO Team Meeting #12 December 13, 2007 Videoconference

2. 2 Outline Acquisition (WBS 3.2.3.7) PSF camera (WBS 3.2.3.12) Atmospheric profiler (WBS 3.2.3.10) AO diagnostics (WBS 3.2.3.9)

3. 3 AO operational tools Acquisition: cameras to boresight science, TTFA, and LGS sources Diagnostics: –Group of task related to AO quality assurance (QA) –Assumptions: temperature, humidity, cleanliness, status These functions are part of AO enclosure and bench AO non real-time software –Assumptions: AO telemetry data Part of AO real-time software

4. 4 Acquisition camera Lead, Team: Chris Neyman Status: –Conceptual design of the acquisition cameras including consideration of the location and optical interface –May need to revise/update when AO optical design is “frozen” To do: –Finalize acquisition processing steps –Write report

5. 5 PSF Monitor Camera Lead, Team: Mathew Britton Status: –Revised Requirements –Draft report on feasibility http://eraserhead.caltech.edu/keck/ngao/psf_camera/psf_camera.html –Stopped worked on other WSPS elements To do: –Complete report on feasibility of technique Collate with other design material as final report

6. 6 Atmospheric Profiler Lead, Team: Chris Neyman Status: –Requirements assuming current MASS/DIMM acceptable –Acceptable for tomography and PSF recovery per discussion/emails with Gavel and Britton. To do: –Write report

7. 7 Proposed AO diagnostic systems Integrated with AO (3.2.3.9) –Radiometric calibration of instrument and AO focal planes –Astrometric calibration source –Point source simulator (NGS+LGS) –Turbulence simulator –Alignment and registration aides

8. 8 Diagnostics, Calibration, Metrology Lead, Team: Chris Neyman Status: –Draft requirements for AO source simulator –Draft requirements turbulence simulator –Draft requirements for calibration lamps –No work on metrology system To Do: –Accuracy from wavefront error budget “calibration” allocation –Complete interfaces with AO non RTC and RTC control systems –Final Documentation
