LIRIS has two filter wheels (FW1, FW2), a slit wheel (SW), a grism wheel (GW) and a pupil wheel (PW). The current configuration of each is given below. Dummies in the wheels are not explicitly listed. Filters in the filter wheels are inclined by 5 degrees in order to suppress reflections in the image. The green commands explain how to move a wheel independently of the others.

The J, H, Ks, filters mounted in LIRIS were purchased from A. Tokunaga's consortium, which is known as Mauna Kea Observatory system. The transformation between 2MASS and other photometric systems can be found here.

Note: The mr_k grism for K is less efficient than expected.

Note: Coronagraphic mode has not yet been fully characterised. It is not availble at present, since the coronagraphic mask was removed to make space for a MOS mask, but it can be included in the slit if telescope time is awarded.
