Observing Plan for the January 4-5, 2015 Engineering Nights¶

The scripts for this engineering run can be found on the DECamObserver account under ExposureScripts/Engineering/engineering_20150104

Star Flats¶

See Star Flat Instructions for a list of potential fields for star flats. Priorities are griz, then Y, then u & VR.

As a reference, here are the instructions to switch to the new Hexapod LUT (and back)¶

Switch to the new LUT¶

• Switch to new Hexapod LUT, using the open codemanager window on system1:

 ~codemanager/newLUT.csh 

will switch to new LUT.

• restart the LUT role using the architect console
• watch the log message - after a while it prints out which HexapodLUT directory is used (should be HexapodLUT_v20141110 for the new LUT)
• a SISPI restart is NOT required

Restore original LUT¶

• to restore original Hexapod LUT, using the open codemanager window on system1:

 ~codemanager/oldLUT.csh 

• restart the LUT role using the architect console
• watch the log message - after a while it prints out which HexapodLUT directory is used (should be HexapodLUT_v20141010 for the old LUT)
