Electronic Engineering: Dave Carr is providing electronics design for IMACS on a consulting basis. Status of electronics: (3) Motion control (MC) chassis, 1 Done, 1 IP (1) Power supply chassis, Done (1) Shutter control chassis Done (2) PI chassis (flexure & scale control) Done Schematics design (all motion stages) Done Inamori-Magellan Areal Camera & Spectrograph
Detector systems: Guider cameras: - 4 cameras at LCO, 5 more to be fabricated this year - 3 cameras for IMACS by end of 2001? Science arrays: - All CCDs in house - Dewar and detector system mechanics in house - First OCIW science controller (with 1 CCD) operating Inamori-Magellan Areal Camera & Spectrograph
Detector systems continued: Five science cameras planned for assembly in 2001: - 2K x 4K lab system - Red and Blue 2K x 4K cameras for MIKE - 4K x 4K camera - IMACS 8K x 8K Jorge Estrada now assisting with electronics assembly of the guiders and eventually, the science arrays.
