NAOMI Start-up Check list and daily DE checks

qIn GRACE

ØEnvironment

qCheck if humidity is acceptable (Hygrometer on the table); switch on or off the de-humidifier accordingly, empty its tank

ØInspection of the light path

qTake out all mirror covers (DM, OAP1 flat, FSM, Fisba small return flat, OAP2 flat). Place covers in the dedicated plastic rack

qCheck if nothing obviously obscures the light path (forgotten tools, mask). More subtle obscuration will need imaging with WFS to reaveal itself.

qCheck which dichroic is set: 50/50 for observations with OASIS, IR dichroic (Barr) for INGRID/OSCA. From Nov 2005, dichroic changer are controlled from oasisgui or a dedicated PC in the Control Room. There is no physical contact anymore.

qCheck which pinhole is set at the Simplex NCU (need 2mm)

ØElectronics

qReboot the FISBA PC every other day (all automatic; simply “Restart”)

qCheck if all VME racks are alive (all green…). This can be tested later on from TopGui or an engineering Gui at Navis.
