Shane AO  

Feature: ShaneAO Alignment Configuration

1. In ShaneAO loop control GUI (saocon_gui), ensure Loops open
2. In aopococ GUI:
   • Ensure TUB angle is set to 74.0
   • Note Airmass. Typically releases, alignments, calibrations, optimizations, etc. should be performed with telescope at zenith/park.
3. Check Messages log for SW-IOMMU messages.
   If no SW-IOMMU messages, then proceed.
4. In ShaneAO Power Controls GUI (saopower_ui), verify/set the following:

   B5	Woofer	ON
   B6	Heartbeat failsafe	ON
   B7	635nm laser diode	OFF
   B8	White light	OFF
   C4	Argon Lamp	OFF

5. In ShaneAO loop control GUI (saocon_gui):
   • Use Instrument setups option to load approprate configuration, e.g. ngs16bq
   • Verify/set NGS mode explicitly via Python prompt >>> ngs()
   • Verify/set WFS camera rate, WFScam rate(Hz) to 500 Hz, e.g. via Python prompt >>> rate(500)
   • Verify/set TT Cam rate, TTcam rate(Hz)to 500 Hz, e.g. via Python prompt >>> ttrate(500)
   • Verify/set Tweeter bleed to 0.900, e.g. via Python prompt >>> bleed('tweeter',0.900)
   • Verify/set Woofer bleed to 0.995, e.g. via Python prompt >>> bleed('woofer',0.995)
   • Optional: Initialize software via Python prompt >>> e.g. init(16)
   • Optional: Enable woofer communications via Python prompt >>> woof('on')
   • Optional: Enable tweeter communications via Python prompt >>> mems('on')
   • Optional: Set centroiding algorithm e.g. via Python prompt >>> cent('bin')
   • Optional: Load appropriate refcent file via Python prompt >>> e.g. refcent('data/hs-2014-08-13-BINQUAD_16xLGS.fits')
6. In ShaneAO motor control GUI (saomot_gui):
   • Verify/set Lenslet to 16x
   • Verify/set TT Dichroic to Splitter
   • Verify/set Cal X to White Light
   • Verify/set Cal Y to White Light
7. In sdiagmir_fe GUI, verify/set telescope diagonal mirror to position 3
