[evlatests] VLA ACU Design review

[jjackson]

There will be a design review for the new VLA antenna ACU on Tuesday 
March 26 starting at 9AM in the AOC Auditorium.  We now have the 
majority of the prototype hardware and software up and running in the 
Servo shop. We have verified virtually all of the I/O points and have 
driven the AZ/EL and FRM motors on the setup in the lab fully closed 
loop (velocity and position).  The purpose of this review is to 
determine if we are ready to attempt to install the prototype on a VLA 
antenna in the May/June time frame.

Greg Maglathlin, our software design consultant, is planning to be 
present the entire week of review. Audio / Video teleconferencing will 
be available.

Cheers,
Jim Jackson
