20040310 report
CW Inclinometry & pointing following CBLA.
The central bearing load was adjusted during the afternoon,
and a report by Tomas Chlylek is available
here.
In summary, "the load distribution between
the central bearing and the rollers has been kept at 85%/15% of the
total antenna weight".
Inclinometry followed :
Datasets El Dirn HST mean leg temperatures Humidity
start start middle end %
( 20040304 90 cw 03:30 -0.1 -0.3 -0.2 90 )
20040310 90 cw 15:30 0.6 1.3 1.6 80
All data channels of the inclinometry data look OK.
The resulting model is compared below with the current one
- that taken on 04 Mar :
Allsky Pointing followed :
33 data were recorded with SCUBA :
The elevation performance is essentially nominal,
while azimuth residuals are a strong function of elevation :
a sure sign of the usual change in the azimuth encoder zero-point (IA).
The data were run through TPOINT: IA has changed by 22"
and small changes to the other terms were allowed. With the new
model the performance ought to look like this :
or this
- with rms's in (daz,del) of (0.8", 1.4"); TPOINT 'RMS on sky' = 1.4".
