[mmaimcal]Comments? ALMA Configuration CDR plans

[Al Wootten]

To Configuration Group and Interested Parties

Details of the Configuration CDR
    Date: January 24-25, 2002
    Location: Array Operations Center, NRAO, Socorro, N. M.

Access:
     Fly into Albuquerque.  Details on making your way from the Albuquerque
airport to Socorro will be forthcoming.  It is about 70 miles, one hour.

Lodging:
     The CDR occurs just after the EVLA LO/IF PDR to be held 22-23 Jan, and
before the NSF review of AUI, to be held the following week.  We will
lodge visitors in the Visiting Scientist Quarters and local hotels.
Please let me know your plans for arrival and departure dates as soon as
possible.  Note that if you plan a Saturday night stayover, the ski areas
at Santa Fe (quite a charming town) are about an hour north of the airport
in Albuquerque.  If enough are interested in visiting the VLA, about an
hour west of Socorro, that may be arranged also.  You will not see much of
the ALMA prototype antenna at this early date.

CDR Review Guidelines Version 2 - 98November09 P. J. Napier 
 The purpose of the CDR of an MMA Subsystem is principally to review 3 
    questions: 
(1) Are the detailed requirements for the subsystem complete and adequate? 
(2) Will the design selected for implementation on the test array meet the 
     requirements? 
(3) Are interfaces to other subsystems defined adequately and completely? 
(4) Has adequate attention been given to the produceability and maintainability
     of the subsystem? 
Meeting organization and attendance to be the same as a PDR. MMA199901-0010

Actually, there are four, and we aren't MMA anymore but the rules have not
changed...
