Verification (

...

based on the former testAll)

Here is a list of the actions that make up the MOSFIRE testAll

• Status
  colour Red title NOT a KEYWORD

  Ping various computer/network hardware to confirm they are alive

  • kaimama

  • control1

  • eds1

  • mpulizzi1

  • mpulizzi2

  • iolan1, control1, eds1, mpulizzi1, mpulizzi2, iolan1

• Status
  colour Green title IS A KEYWORD

  Check lastalive keyword on software (Servers)

  • mosfire, mcsus, mdhs, mds, mfcs, mmdcs, mmf1s, mmf2s, mmgss, mmgts

  • mmprs

  • mp1s

  • mp2s

  • mpas

  • mscs

  • mtcs, mmprs, mp1s, mp2s, mpas, mscs, mtcs

• Status
  colour Red title NOT A KEYWORD

  Verify PIDs exist for software

  • write_image

  • fcstrack

  • ds9relay

  • lickserv, fcstrack, ds9relay, lickserv

• Status
  colour Green title IS A KEYWORD

  Check daemons (only if observing)

  • watchrot, watchslew, watchfcs, autodisplay

• Status
  colour Green title IS A KEYWORD

  Verify power status

  • glycol_power = on, CSU_controller_power = on, CSU_drives_power = on, Jade2_power = on, computer_power = on, Lantronix_power = on, guider_focus_power = on, ion_pump_power = on, MAGIQ_guider_power = on, temp_control_power = on, motor_box_power = on, power_supply_power = on, FCS_controller_power = on, dewar_heater_power = on, CCR_1_power = on, CCR_2_power = on

• Status
  colour Green title IS A KEYWORD

  Verify stages

  • dust cover, : mmdcs status is OK, filter wheel 1, : mmf1s status is OK, filter wheel 2, : mmf2s status is OK, grating turret, : mmgts status is OK, grating shim, : mmgss status is OK, pupil rotator, : mmprs status is OK or TRACKING, CSU, : mcsus status is OK

• Status
  colour Green title IS a KEYWORD

  Check Settings

  • glycol flow (mdhs glysup = Flow)

  • detector temp (mtcs curtmp1 = 77 +/- 0.1)

  • bulkhead temp (mtcs curtmp2 = 120 +/- 1)

  • CCR remote control (mscs chremote = 1)

  • CCR 1 Speed (mscs dacout1r = 45 +/- 1)

  • CCR 2 Speed (mscs dacout2r = 45 +/- 1)

  • window heater voltage (mdhs tmp5 = 17.5 +/- 1.5)

  • CSU electronics temp (mdhs tmp2 = 0-30)

  • cabinet temp (mdhs tmp3 = 0-30)

  • thermocouple pressure (mpas g1str = 0-1e-4)

  • ion pump 1 pressure (mpas g3str = 0 - 1e-7)

  • ion pump 2 pressure (mpas g4str = 0 - 1e-7)

  • cabinet door status (mdhs ebaydoor = Closed)

  • FCS correcting (mfcs active = 1)

  • datataking system (mds ready = 1)

  • current instrument (dcs currinst = mosfire)

...

Instrument States

For the above checks, we need two states: one for observing and one for daytime (ready? standby? we need a good term for this). We may also want to differentiate between being on the deck and on the telescope.

• Can we determine whether MOSFIRE is on deck or on the telescope programmatically?

• Determine observing by combination of multiple factors: telescope has been tracking (guiding?) recently, hatch has been open recently, telescope elevation is >0, detector has been exposing recently. These are just ideas.

Other ideas for things to check

• Connected to ICE server, but probably covered in datataking system (mds ready = 1)

• Check show -s mosfire csuextname is not none

• Check show -s mcsus csufatal is not 1

• Check show -s mcsus OPERTEMP is 0

Mosfire Checkout (Incomplete)

• Confirm the physical drive angle. It should not be within 10 degrees of a
  multiple of 180 degrees

• Start the observing software as moseng or the account for the night

• Check that the dark filter is selected. If not select it

• Check mechanism status: If any of the mechanisms have a big red X on it,
  you will need to home mechanisms. Note, if filter wheel is at the home
  position, Status will be "OK," position will be "HOME", target will be
  "unknown", and there will still be a big red X.

• Acquire an exposure

• Inspect the dark image

• If normal checkout:

  • Open mask

  • Image and confirm

  • Initialize CSU: modify -s mosfire csuinitbar=0

  • Image and confirm

  • Form 0.7x46 long slit

  • Image and confirm

• If quick checkout

  • Form an 2.7x46 long slit

  • Image and confirm

  • Form an 0.7x46 long slit

  • Image and confirm

• With the hatch closed change the observing mode to J-imaging, verify
  mechanisms are ok

• Quick Dark

• Message user to verify sidecar logging
