From Team Meeting #15 The Near Future • Build up RTC racks at Caltech • Complete work on Caltech Suse Kickstart • Incorporate new kernel findings into every version of the kickstart • Work on Real-Time Linux with Quadrics Done. Suse is now Red Hat. All components are working. Waiting on a few camera data adapters to get the final HOWFS data to each PC • Build up DM racks at Caltech Done. Modified Omnetics Cables worked as expected • Test the DM when it arrives from Xinetics Done. Mirror test went well!
From Team Meeting #15 The Near Future • Measure power consumption of drivers to help determine proper cooling method Done. Test power consumption (rated and actual) on all other components as well. • Move motion control and acquisition hardware from JPL to Caltech for installation, development, and testing Done • Move AO racks down from Palomar. They have been modified with cassegrain cage mounting hardware Done. Racks currently at CIT in use or in storage
