Issues to be Determined or Resolved: 
On the ATCS Control Model (Prototype), the beam linear diameter on the APD head is Bld=400um for a plate scale of ps=318um, thus it represents an angular diameter Bad=1.258".

The M6 mirror can move 1mrad (= 3'26.26") apart its center position, equivalent to -10;+10V input on the PI Controller (=.

The ratio of M1 to M6 pupil is G = 1.8 / 0.03 = 60.
It yields M6 max. angular tilt corresponds to T = 2 * 1mrad / 60 = +- 6.88" in each direction.

Let h be the distance M6 to APD, and t the tilt angle applied to M6,
on the APD, 1" sky = 318um = h * 2t
=> t = 318E-6/2h = 32.8" / h
On the ATCS CM, h=1.10 m => t=29.8"
thus the scale on STRAP is:
but: 2^15 / (3'26.26" / t) = 4740

 

The Interaction Matrix IM0 is [(A 0)(0 B)]
where A=B= 1/2 * Bad = 0.629"

 

Linearity domain: up to a=0.25 for the centroid values, (the centroid value of 1 is obtained at half the beam diameter = 200um)
ie. Bld/2/a = 50um in the APD plane = 50/ps = 0.16" sky (TBD)

 

The mirror coefficient shall be retrived from the TF of the mirror (using MathLab):
