All others (except M1 lateral F, which is still U/S) are within tolerance. Spectrographs' monthly check-out -------------------------------- spMechVersion v2_5_0 loadCart 5 1016 Check of bias frames: - Exposure taken (bias #20442): OK - Frames examined and compared with folklored values: b1: - Mean bias levels: As folklored. - Warm read-out registers: Cols 20-23, 2102-2106 (which are the leading columns on each read-out register) seem warm on this first bias, whereas folklored values show no warm registers. - Hot pixels: OK - Hot columns: None (folklore reported 1013 weakly warm) - Dark regions: Not searched b2: - Mean bias levels: both sides ~10 counts below folklored values - Warm read-out registers: 1313 (new), but folklored 191 not warm - Hot pixels: (433, 1313) is NOT warm, but this col now has warm ROR? - Hot columns: Now draining, not constant. - Dark regions: Not searched. r1: - Mean bias levels: As folklored. - Warm read-out registers: As folklored. - Hot pixels: (1424, 879)? May be CR hit. - Hot columns: As folklored. - Dark regions: Not searched. r2: - Mean bias levels: As folklored. - Warm read-out registers: 1803 - Hot pixels: As folklored. - Hot columns: 1475 (weak, new) but not 1601 - Dark regions: Not searched.

Check of Y-direction position (arc #20444): All Wavemin/Wavemax in tolerance; Wsigma flagged yellow for b1/r1. Spectrograph focus try 1 (Hartmann arcs #20445/6): Not in focus. sp1 red l-r = -0.814 pixels , tolerance = 0.15 pixels, not focused yet Issue: sp1; mechPiston 7448 sp2 red l-r = -0.539 pixels , tolerance = 0.15 pixels, not focused yet Issue: sp2; mechPiston 4932 sp1 blue l-r = 0.792 pixels , tolerance = 0.15 pixels, not focused yet If red is in focus then you need to rotate blue camera ring by -28 degrees sp2 blue l-r = 0.596 pixels , tolerance = 0.15 pixels, not focused yet If red is in focus then you need to rotate blue camera ring by -21 degrees Spectrograph focus try 2 (Hartmann arcs #20447/8): sp1 red l-r = -0.174 pixels , tolerance = 0.15 pixels, not focused yet Issue: sp1; mechPiston 1592 sp2 red l-r = -0.218 pixels , tolerance = 0.15 pixels, not focused yet Issue: sp2; mechPiston 1995 If red is in focus then you need to rotate blue camera ring by -9 degrees sp2 blue l-r = 0.157 pixels , tolerance = 0.15 pixels, not focused yet If red is in focus then you need to rotate blue camera ring by -6 degrees Spectrograph focus try 2 (Hartmann arcs #20449/50): sp1 red l-r = -0.004 pixels, tolerance = 0.15 pixels, focused sp2 red l-r = 0.014 pixels, tolerance = 0.15 pixels, focused sp1 blue l-r = 0.114 pixels, tolerance = 0.15 pixels, focused sp2 blue l-r = -0.011 pixels, tolerance = 0.15 pixels, focused Final collimator motor positions: sp1: Coll_motor_A 3203 Coll_motor_B 3205 Coll_motor_C 3215 sp2: Coll_motor_A 10412 Coll_motor_B 10417 Coll_motor_C 10411 Note that focus for the blue cameras were not moved. A pair of postCalib flat and arc exposures (#20451/2) were taken afterwards. SoS reported all parameters to be in tolerance (bestCorr for r2 was yellow but equal in value to that for r1. Dithered exposures: - Flats: #20453-9 - Arcs: #20460-1 - Collimator motor positions returned to within +-20 of focused positions.

However, makeRunLog failed the first time - see problem section #1 for details. biasGen and biasCheck were run with no anomalies noted.
