Descripción
EMIR is the NIR imager and multi-object spectrograph common user
instrument for the GTC and it has recently passed its first light on
sky. EMIR was built by a Consortium of Spanish and French institutes led
by the IAC. EMIR has finished its AIV phase at IAC facilities and it is
now in commissioning on sky at GTC telescope, having completed the first
run. During previous cool downs the EMIR subsystems have been integrated
in the instrument progressively for verifying its functionality and
performance. In order to fulfil the requirements, prepare the instrument
to be in the best conditions for installation in the telescope and to
solve unexpected electronics drawbacks, some changes in the
implementation have been accomplished during AIV. In this paper it is
described the adjustments, modifications and lessons learned related to
electronics along AIV stages and the commissioning in the GTC. This
includes actions in different subsystems: Hawaii2 detector and its
controller electronics, Detector translation Unit, Multi object slit,
wheels for filters and grisms, automatisms, vacuum, cryogenics and
general electronics.
