Things to be done this summer:
- Develop code to manipulate the saved images
- Calculate beam size and location on ETMs or ITMs and be able to hand off this information to other code/scripts
- Use beam information in an auto-alignment script
- Image beam profiles and calculate Gaussian modes (Josh's beam scan stuff integrated with image taking)
- Be able to tell what mode a cavity is locked in (distinguish between TEM00 and TEM01 for instance)
- Integrate mode identification with appropriate scripts so as to use the information to get into the correct mode
- Develop a robust camera network and associated code capable of handling many cameras, streaming, and the storage of images
- Setup up a robust Gigabit Ethernet network with appropriate hubs, cat 6 cabling, and GiGE network cards along with the cameras
- Ability to route the same image to multiple locations (multicasting to a live stream as well as the normal storage routines)
- Ability to select which cameras are streamed to the operators (to be able to replace analog cameras and monitors)
- Compare the CCD and CMOS cameras to see if there is any difference in image quality
- Take a beam, split it, and acquire a beam on each camera
- Do diffs between images as a function of beam power.
