Subject: HRI-SIM TV2 Flash report Date: Sun, 18 Aug 2002 21:38:05 -0400 From: Dennis Wellnitz Hi all, Today we continued the alignment, using knife-edge tests to check the internal focus of the SIM and to find best focus of the external telescope. Because the SIM bench was close to operating temperature and the IR-FPA reached a temperature of 92 K at about 1 pm today, we were able to start calibration tests this afternoon. All of those went well except the test of the IR stimulator, which was not visible at any of the acceptable DAC settings. We plan to convene tomorrow morning at about 9:30 am, after the All Hands meeting 8:30-9:30 am MDT, and map out the work for Monday. Please let me know if you have any comments or questions. If you would prefer not to receive these Flash reports on HRI-SIM TV2, please let me know. Dennis
