The wfs.sch schematic
This schematic contains symbols for the sub-schematics that control the
wavefront sensor and related mechanisms. Symbols that appear on the diagram
are:
-
pickoff.sch, or Pick-off mechs,
contains records that control the wavefront sensor pick-off and other mechanisms
whose positions must be closely tied to the pick-off position. This tight
coupling is designed to ensure that an image of the guide star can be
maintained adequately in focus at the CCD cameras, as the pick-off is being moved.
-
adc.sch, or ADC mechs, contains records that
control the orientation of the two prisms that comprise the Atmospheric Dispersion
Compensator (AtmDC, or ADC), mounted in the optical path of the wavefront sensor.
-
filter.sch, or Filter mechs, contains records
control the filter selection wheel mounted on the wavefront sensor.
-
dm.sch, or DM mechs, contains records that control
the two motors that are used to modify the position of the NAOMI deformable mirror (DM).
-
temp.sch, or Temperature sensors, will contain
records that service the thermocouples mounted about the NAOMI wavefront sensor. This
software is not currently included in the NAOMI release.
-
shutter.sch, or CCD shutter, contains records
that control the shutter mounted on the CCD cameras.
-
wfslamp.sch, or WFS lamp, contains records that
are used to switch the wavefront sensor calibration source (which is not the same lamp as
that mounted in the calibration unit) on or off.
-
camera.sch, or WFS camera, contains records
that are used to switch on/off the COHU camera that is mounted on the wavefront sensor.
