  2. Agenda

  3. Objectives • Objectives of the sun test review: • Verify that planned tests meet the verification requirements appropriate for the sun test. • Show that all hardware, software, facilities, procedures, and personnel are available and prepared to support the test. • Objectives of the sun test: • Learn how to operate the HMI optics package. • Learn how to characterize/calibrate the instrument. In some cases, obtain initial calibration parameters. • Discover gross errors in design or workmanship of the HMI optics package. • Determine position of focus to set the final shim on the telescope secondary lens. • Results of the sun test will directly feed into the plans and procedures for the formal test and calibration series. • The sun test does not provide formal verification of any requirements.

  8. Setting Final Telescope Focus • The sun test must provide enough data to calculate the proper distance between the primary and secondary lenses, and hence, the proper shim size at the secondary lens. • We have already used two tests to determine the proper primary-secondary spacing: • Set up primary and secondary lens to form the best image, and measured the distance between the lenses and the image. • Set up telescope and spherical mirror centered at telescope focus with interferometer to produce the best fringes, and measure the distance between the lenses and the mirror. • Using a Zemax model to compensate for the in-air measurements and the as-built lens prescriptions, a shim size was determined. • The focus test and image scale measurements will provide the data necessary to go back to the Zemax model and determine whether any further as-built deviations in the optics could be optimally compensated in the primary-secondary spacing. • The results of these tests will determine the final flight shim for the telescope, and the secondary mirror mount with flight shim will be potted in place to that position.

  9. Sun Test Overview

  10. Sun Test Flow Focus Distortion Alignment leg range, step size, repeatability Flat field Contamination Image scale Linearity Ghost images MTF Scattered light Field curvature Filter spatial / angular dependence Polarization Image motions, offset, distortion Filter wavelength dependence Doppler observables Filter throughput Line of sight observables Vector observables Lamp Laser Sun

  11. Sun Test Overview – Interdependencies • At least three tests are prerequisites for other tests • Focus • Can use either Sun or lamp • Needed to reduce length of other tests • Not needed for many tests due to bad seeing or spatial averaging • Wavelength dependence • Either Sun or laser can be used • Needed to set tuning positions • Not needed for lamp or polarization tests • Polarization calibration • Lamp or Sun can be used • Needed to make observing sequences. Especially LOS. • Note that none of these are dependent on each other • Others are needed before analysis can be completed

  12. Sun Test Overview – Other prerequisites • There are a number of other tests we need to perform before starting • Determine exposure times • Lamp • Sun • Laser • Test various targets • Determine spatial power and quality of each • Alignments • Stim tel • Laser • Heliostat • Existing focus test procedure may be used for these

  13. Sun Test – Go/no go criteria • Several types of criteria • Prerequisites done – See separate charts • Equipment available and properly configured • Laser and wavemeter working • PCU properly configured • Targets available/installed • Sunlight • Some require long stretches of clear skies • Others can use shorter stretches and/or light clouds • STOLs working • Procedural issues resolved • See overview chart and individual tests for details

  14. Sun Test – Pass/fail criteria • This is not an acceptance test! • However, we are looking for gross errors • Note that in many cases all we need is characterization NOT pass/fail • Two levels • Do we have the required data? • If no pass/fail then we only need to know when we have data of sufficient quality • Have we analyzed the data? • If pass/fail needed or if test is prerequisite for other tests we need short turn around • Analysis software for prerequisites is ready • Preliminary results and decisions will be part of calibration meetings • In case of gross errors high level decisions needed • Abort Sun test and fix problem • Continue with other parts of test

  15. Sun Test – Priorities • Several competing criteria for priority • Make good use of sunlight • May not get that many days • Do prerequisites first • Equipment constraints • Don’t want to fire up laser too often • Don’t want to change PCU configuration too often • Allow efficient development and testing of STOL procedures • Easy ones first • Test various types • Maximize time to develop and run analysis procedures • Data of marginal quality (eg. clouds) may still allow for some testing • May need data from other instruments • MDI under our control, but keyhole • May like to have data from ground based. GONG, SOLIS, ASP,… • Near real time flexibility will be required to be efficient! • With this in mind…

  16. Sun Test – Attack plan • Get STOLs for prerequisites ready before test starts • Focus done. Wavelength dependence and PCU both well defined • Run all relevant STOLs we have as soon as we can • Can check for proper functioning – may do abbreviated versions to save time • Gives sample data for analysis code development • POR – Don’t do extensive real time debugging • Run STOLs even if ideal source not available • With luck we can have prerequisites done on day one! • Does depend on PCU operational • Does depend on Sun shining or laser working • Don’t use laser on day one • Probably takes too long to get set up • Can use other sources for initial tests • But do get it to work soon, especially if forecast calls for solid overcast • Plan further tests depending on weather, people and equipment availability • Try to get prerequisites done as soon as possible • Do weekly and daily planning

  17. Lessons Learned from MDI & FPP – Rock Bush, Ted Tarbell • Have several “standard” stimulus setups, with more than one person knowing how to change from one to another. • Keep a log of which setup is used for every test and any deviations from “standard” • Test and cal procedures evolve by trial and error: need prompt (not necessarily real time) data analysis and STOL/procedure editing. • Have scientists analyze the data who are not involved in collecting the data. • Decide on measurements for trending and start early; keep standard, clear tables/web sites of results. • Need quick look (almost real time) viewing of images during testing: interactive X, Y, I <I>, etc. measurements

  18. Sun Test Plan – Ryan Moskal • Ground Support Equipment (GSE) • Procedures (logs, shop orders, etc.) • Test Flow • Facilities • Provide a description of the required test facility, including floorplan. • Describe the characteristics and capabilities of the test facility and required support equipment. (lasers, interferometers, stim tel, PCU, heliostat, etc.)

  19. GSE Status: • Mechanical • Targets: pinhole, other • Stimulus telescope with white light lamp and dye laser • PCU • Interferometer • Heliostat • Light meter for light source monitoring • Wave meter for wavelength tuning verification • Mechanical hoist • Electrical • Spacecraft simulator • Workstations for running STOL procedures • Workstations for collecting data from instrument • RAL EGSE • Software • Flight software • STOLs

  20. Procedures • Testing takes place in HMI Cleanroom (Sun Lab, Bay 3) • Shop order for each procedure • Provides the steps to run one test procedure and gather data • A procedure can gather data for more than one test • STOL modifications necessary during testing are captured in STOL development shop order, not test procedure shop order • Test setup log appears in Appendix A of test sequence shop orders • Mate/De-mate log • Must be updated throughout the testing process • Step in shop order

  21. Test Flow Align HMI with heliostat Align PCU in optical path Tests: Stim tel with lamp Tests: Stim tel with dye laser Tests: Stim tel with heliostat • PCU will always be in optical path but PCU optics will move out of the optical path when not in use • Details on dye laser vs. white light lamp setup and how to switch between • Details on GSE cover (Will there be a case where we need to remove the cover to adjust/examine?)

Data analysis Find crosshair centroids to within half a pixel in HMI images. Alignment Mechanism: Step Size, Repeatability, and Range

  36. Purpose: Test end-to-end function and performance of the instrument with a prime HMI observable. Quantitative understanding of the sources, levels, and changes in the signal and noise in individual Dopplergrams and time series taken in different configurations will validate many other tests and calibrations. Images and data series will be used for testing analysis pipelines as well as the instrument and observing sequences. Generation of a rudimentary solar k-w diagram will demonstrate function of instrument hardware, software, and analysis components. Requirements: A repeatable, uniform set of tuned filtergrams must be obtained at a rapid, regular cadence to generate each Dopplergram. Individual Dopplergrams provide a reasonably good end-to-end verification that the whole system is working, once noise sources are understood. Times series of Dopplergrams are required to reduce noise and produce a signal that can be analyzed in the science pipelines. Analyzable data from at least one lengthy (several hour) sequence obtained with a reasonable cadence in sunlight must be provided in cal mode and in image mode. Description: Single Dopplergrams will be used to characterize the instrument performance and noise levels and validate instrument simulations. The early tests will be dominated by noise and so will provide only a gross indication of how things are working. Individual Dopplergrams for all sources except the imaged Sun should be very uniform and highly predictable. Solar observations will provide a known signal measured by other instruments against which to compare. Solar time series will be analyzed to disentangle the changes caused by the instrument and the Sun. Stim telescope observations may be useful for determining instrument noise levels and stability. Test Configuration: Solar target should be centered and focused in image mode. The instrument should be in as flight-like a configuration as possible– proper focus and alignment, tuning, temperature control, guiding, air/vacuum, data collection, etc Test Plan: The test begins and ends with a set of standard characterizations and repeats a standard sequence in between. This presumes that you can record the sequence of filtergrams for a Dopplergram every minute or so. Start: Verify image focus and centeringCollect 5 darksRun shortest detune sequenceTake 5 Image-Mode DopplergramsTake 5 Cal-mode Dopplergrams Prime Dopplergram Sequence (run N times):Repeat Desired-Mode Dopplergrams 20-times, maintaining image centeringTake one Cal-mode DopplergramTake one Image-mode DopplergramTake 5 darks End: Verify image focus and centeringRun shortest detune sequenceTake 5 darks  Data Analysis: Generate Dopplergrams from filtergrams Simulate instrument response under test conditions (e.g. noisy CCD) Characterize observed signal and noise levels in test configurations Compare observed data with expected signal and noise Compare with data from other observatories Observables: Doppler Velocity

  37. Purpose: This end-to-end HMI observable test will demonstrate that the instrument can measure magnetic fields. Sensitivity to noise will be somewhat different than Dopplergrams. Depending on noise levels, an initial verification of magnetic sensitivity will be possible. Systematic effects will reveal irregularities that are otherwise not apparent. Unlike the changing Doppler signal, averaging time series of stable magnetic observations should reduce noise. Requirements: Rapid, repeatable sequences of filtergrams are required. Remapping of filtergrams will be required, at least for time sequences. Algorithm for determining magnetic field from filtergrams required. Time series of magnetograms will be averaged to increase the signal to noise ratio. Simultaneous observations of magnetic field from other observatories required. Understanding of noise sources required. Description: The line-of-sight magnetic field observable is conceptually the difference of interleaved Dopplergrams observed in two circular polarizations. Understanding the Dopplergram noise is a component of understanding the magnetogram signal available during the sun tests. The magnetic sequence is significantly longer, so filtergrams may need to be registered to provide a meaningful signal, though the seeing will result in poor resolution. Magnetograms will probably require a better flat field than the Dopplergrams. Test Configuration: Flight-like solar observations in cal mode and image mode.  Test Plan: Know flat field Know dark current Short detune for solar orientation Take one cal and one image magnetogram Take one Doppler sequence in each polarization, cal & image Take time series of image magnetograms (10) Take time series of cal magnetograms (10) Take one Doppler sequence in each polarization Take one cal and one image magnetogram Short detune for solar orientation Know dark current Know flat field Data Analysis: Filtergrams will probably need to be registered. Magnetograms certainly will. Magnetic algorithm will need to be tested and verified Comparison with simultaneous MDI magnetograms to test sensitivity, noise, dynamic range, image quality May help with distortion Observables: Line of Site Magnetic Field

  38. Objective Demonstrate that HMI can measure vector magnetic fields. Demonstrate the proficiency of the polarization calibration Requirements Active region on solar disk is required. Polarization calibration tests (item #21) are needed in order to analyze data. Algorithm for inverting the observations is needed. Simultaneous vector magnetic field maps, from SOLIS perhaps, would be very beneficial. Hour long observations taken with "Mod A" and also in "Mod C" are needed. Description The vector magnetic field is determined using a model solar atmosphere and inversion technique with full Stokes profile information. Polarization modulation in the form of "Mod A" or "Mod C" will allow sampling of Stokes I, Q, U and V over the spectral line so that we can recover a coarse spectral sampling of these Stokes profiles. Demodulation of polarization is done in combination with a correction of polarization introduced by the telescope. The data is then inverted using a model solar atmosphere (ME) and least squares inversion code. Short term data products and ten minute averages will be made. For the second sun test with two cameras in place, a test for using both cameras for obtaining the vector field will be conducted. Test configuration Flight-like solar observations in cal and obs mode. Test plan Several flats and darks; detune seq; Take one Mod A and one Mod C vector sequence in both cal and obs mode. Run one hour of Mod A; Run one hour of Mod C. One Mod A and one Mod C vector sequence in both cal and obs mode. Detunes; Several flats and darks. For second sun test that will have in flight optics, two cameras and be in vacuum, run an additional observation of an hour with only I+/-Q and I+/U observed on vector camera while the I+/-V is observed on doppler camera. Data analysis Filtergrams will need to be registered. Polarization states will be demodulated including correction of telescope matrix. Data will then be used with solar model and inversion code to recover vector magnetic field data. The signal and noise levels will be analyzed. Ideally, data will be compared to simultaneous vector data from another instrument. Procedure STOL status: may exist (use a standard exposure list STOL) Shop order status: does not exist The test timeline: 20-30 images for each source desired, < 5 minutes per set, ~ half an hour for entire test No special personnel requirements Observables: Vector Magnetic Field
