Scope

3

TCS components

4

Auxiliary Telescope, External Environment Monitor components

5

ILC and mirror supports• Complete

– ILCLabVIEW (ILC = “Inner Loop Controller”)• Generally exercise ILC communication, I/O

– M2AADT (M2 Axial Actuator Durability Tester)– AITDT (Analog Input Thermal Drift Tester)

• In progress– FAMT (Force Actuator Model Tester)

• Future– Implement production protocol (customized Modbus)– Calibration

• Of standard signal generator• Of ILCs

– Initialization of encoders

Work with vendors

• See previous presentation on this topic.

7

Additional efforts

• Hardware– Selected cRIOs (9038—8-slot; 9033—4-slot)

• Auxiliary telescope TCS– Scheduler for it?

• AOCS– AOS requirements document in progress (see

Sandrine Thomas presentation)• Auxiliary– Work by Patrick Ingraham on ICDs (will be LSE-139)

8

Near term plan

• ILC work—Fall 2015• Component ICDs--• SAL-LabVIEW interface—End of 2015– Already• Generate types from SAL definitions• Proof of concept for generating messaging methods

• Higher fidelity TCS simulator—June 2016– Basic TCS kernel simulator now in SAL SDK

• Hire software engineer—Fall 2015
