WI CH centering measurement

The goal of the shift is to check the centering of the WI CH/DAS on the CP centre identified by the lens induced by the RH, switched on last night (see entry 56330).

At 06.58 UTC I stopped the HWS-INJ acquisition and analysed the wavefronts acquired during the night to evaluate the coordinates of the RH lens: Y=(-3.01 +- 0.05) cm and X=(3.44 +- 0) cm (CP coordinate system).

At 08.20 UTC I started a new HWS-INJ acquisition and at 08.25 UTC WI CH was switched on @ 485 mW. I found the CH to be misaligned with respect to the CP centre (see table below). Thus, I proceeded to move the Hot Mirror on the CO2 WI bench. In this bench, the picomotors work properly.

All the HWS steady state maps are shown in figure 1 and the steps made to align the CH and their results are summarised in the following table.

 

Y coordinate [cm]

X coordinate [cm]

Reference (RH centre)

-3.01 +- 0.05

3.44 +- 0

CH at the beginning

-0.63 +- 0.04

1.65 +- 0

First movement: TX BACKWARD 11000 steps

CH after first movement

-2.56 +- 0.05

2.12 +- 0.04

Second movement: TY FORWARD 5500 steps

CH after second movement

-1.98 +- 0.04

3.58 +- 0.03

Third movement: TX BACKWARD 4500 steps and TY BACKWARD 2000 steps

CH after third movement

-3.89 +- 0

4.18 +- 0

Fourth movement: TY BACKWARD 3500 steps

CH after fourth movement

-3.07 +- 0.08

2.74 +- 0.07

After the last step, the WI-CH is better centred on the WI-RH centre, the differences are Y=(0.06 +- 0.13) cm and X= (0.70 +- 0.07) cm.

At 15.15 UTC I switched off the WI-RH.

I left the TCS powers condition of June 28th (see entry 56314):

Since the swap of the NI and WI picomotor controllers was made (with no effect), the fact that the WI picomotors could be moved without problems confirm that at NI the problems must be somewhere after the controller.
