Summary of ATC Deliverables
and Test Condition
ATC Document number AOW/GEN/RAH/11.0/03/98/ATC Deliverables and Test Status
wht-naomi-30 Draft version date: 12
March 1998
This document lists the items, including documentation, to be delivered to NAOMI by the ATC and it summarises the tests that should be performed on the hardware items prior to system integration at Durham University. The document covers tests of components, the subsystems, e.g. the wavefront sensor (WFS), and the OMC/WFS/NCU as an integrated assembly. Note that not all tests listed need be performed at the ATC. Tests may be performed by a component supplier if more expedient and cost effective. Measures should be taken by the ATC to verify that the supplier’s tests are satisfactory. If appropriate, some component tests may be performed as part of the subsystem or integrated assembly tests provided there is little risk involved in this approach.
Table 1 below lists the OMC components that will be delivered to NAOMI and provides a summary of test requirements. Additional tests performed at the subsystem level are also listed. References to the applicable WPD sections are also given. Tables 2 and 3 are similar tables for the NCU and WFS respectively.

These tests are covered in more detail in the document number AOW/GEN/RAH/10.0/02/98/OMC/WFS Integration Approach and thus this section is provided mainly for information purposes. Table 4 primarily lists tests of the integrated assembly that have not already been covered above. Although there may appear to be some duplication, the intent is to verify that the OMC, NCU and WFS function satisfactorily as an integrated assembly, e.g. there are no crosstalk or induced-vibration problems. The section numbers in this table refer to AOW/GEN/RAH/10.0/02/98/OMC/WFS Integration Approach.
