20031214 report
CW Inclinometry & pointing following CBLA.
The central bearing load was adjusted during the afternoon,
and a report by Tomas Chlylek is available
here.
Inclinometry followed :
Datasets El Dirn HST mean leg temperatures Humidity
start start middle end %
( 20031128 90 cw 03:37 0.7 0.6 0.5 100
20031214 90 cw 12:15 1.4 2.2 3.0 15 )
20031215 90 cw 15:50 4.4 4.8 4.6 15
All data channels of the inclinometry data look OK.
The resulting model is compared below with the current one
- that taken on 28 Nov :
-
The result shows the signature of the segmental track - no surprise
following the CBLA.
-
The differences in
(F1,F2,F3)
between these two CW models
are described by the rms scatters of
(0.83", 0.46", 0.51")
cf.
(0.43", 0.43", 0.42")
previously.
-
The new CW model was merged with the new
(CW-CCW) template
to create a
new hybrid track model,
which was installed at HST 19:00 on 15 Dec 2003.
-
Records of the
symmetry
and
strain gauge data
have been updated; an expected reduction in wheel loads
is clear in the latter plots.
Allsky Pointing followed :
37 data were recorded with SCUBA :
The elevation performance is essentially nominal,
while azimuth residuals are a strong function of elevation :
a sure sign of an error in the azimuth encoder zero-point (IA).
The data were run through TPOINT and a change of 26" in IA
and ~1" changes in other terms were determined. With such a new model
the performance ought to look like this :
- with rms's in (daz,del) of (1.0", 1.3").
16 subsequent data had rms's of (1.3",1.2").
