Instrument

Currently, a new fiber bundle is being prepared by the people in Aarhus with the help of Gerardo Avila from ESO. The installation, testing and commissioning on the new unit is planned for the second half of June.

The new unit should have a much more efficient high-resolution fiber, and it should make the medium resolution simultaneous-ThAr mode possible.

Currently a design is being made for an exposure meter to be placed inside FIES. The plan is to test and install the meter during this semester.

Various parts of the electronics were affected by the storm and are being repaired.
