Larry has demonstrated the single axis test equipment to the design group and explained it. See his email explanation earlier.
Several questions were discussed -- many of them are listed in Larry's email message.
Final circuit-boards (modulator/demodulator, preamps, etc.) to be made soon.
It was felt that encoders are doing a fine job for position estimation; and velocity estimation after some filtering(?) seems pretty alright - may be we don't need rate-gyros.
Amplifiers have arrived and are ready for use.
Random thoughts on several design and manufacture issues.
The current field of view for the single axis test is about +/- 6 degrees; about double as much as we designed optics for. Would it be a problem?
Larry to work on characterizing and understanding somewhat quantitatively the current working single axis system.
