Recent Results
• Abbreviated Filter Wheel Test
— Move each filter wheel on position, take flats and diagnostic
— Move back to BLANK and disable filter wheel
— If initial data OK, move each filter wheel through the remaining 18 filter
positions and take flats.
— Analysis after completion of the test
• Diagnostic data analyzed by Tom Wheeler
— Motor current, voltage etc. All checked out OK
• Imaging data analyzed independently by Glenn Schneider and Tommy Wiklind
— All filters have count rates similar to previous successful filter wheel tests.
— Deviations of a few percent are within the measurement errors
— One filter (NIC1 F095N) has a count rate lower 12/25% compared with 8944/11087.
This is the first observation to be done. Discrepancy within errors (narrow band filter
with low count rate).
— PAM motions (focus and tilt) where seen
• Dark Monitoring
— Data is being analyzed. No results so far (need statistics from several visits)
