Chile Trip Planning

Planning for the next trip to Chile (tentatively scheduled for January 2023)

Things to do:

install anemometer power supply, if not done already
install remotely controlled power strip
install new fiber-slit coupling system for OSELOTs
- two options: glue the current fiber mount to slit, or use Sasha's new system

Things to acquire/bring:

A. revision of image quality instrumentation

B. revive top end tension meter- requires taking oscilloscope with Fourier analysis.

Both of these should require only power, no exiting cables.

move differential temperature sensors onto telescope trusses
1. extra cable, soldering iron, hand tools, heat shrink, power strip and extension cord
2. find source of short and eliminate it
perhaps mount anemometer on fork mount?
install new anemometer power supply, probably redo connections to lab jack if it's moved
check (and possibly redo) OSELOTS alignment

Pre-requisites: 1) Ship box of stuff to Pachon, 2) verify data paths back to Boston
