PIMP

Documents

Documents available in the NIKA2 private wiki documentation page (https://wiki.iram.fr/wiki/nika2/index.php?title=NIKA2Documentation):

• Cahier des charges contains some drawing giving an idea on how the frame is mounted on the HWP pedestal.
• PIMP control computer documentation is the document written by Aurélien explaining how to start and control the PIMP. It is already printed at the telescope, on the NIKA2 table in control room, and in the PIMP box. You can skipp the first part on the Raspberry and start ready from User Manual on p5.
• PIMP purpose and optics simulations is a presentations I had prepared almost 6 years ago but never showed, because I wanted to combine its presentation with presentation of the results from Juan... It explains very quickly the purpose of the PIMP in the main lines, and based on Zemax simulations explains the purpose of the convergent lens and the divergent lens you will find in the PIMP box.
• Finally the Video and photos show the start of a PIMP scan and pictures with different orientation of the PIMP (once the PIMP is installed, use the crank handle on the side opposite to the cryostat to rotate it, and the pin break to maintain id at a given orientation)
