DEFINITIONS
Acquisition time This is the length of time required to put the target at adesired position (a bore-sight), within the offsetpointing requirement, from end-of-slew, until start ofthe integration
Offset accuracy This is the ability to place a given point in the sky onthe bore-sight once the telescope has acquiredanother object in the same FOV.
Target This is a point in the sky. If the target is not visible tothe acquisition imager, then the target is defined asan offset from a visible star that is within the focalplane field of view.
Technical Baseline This is the design baseline that is required to fulfil therequirements of the SALT Observatory ScienceRequirements, Issue 7.1, and is the topic of thisSpecification.

1 Scope
1.1 Identification
This document specifies the requirements for the Guidance system of the Southern African LargeTelescope. Where applicable, the possible growth paths for later upgrades have been identified.
In general, the word “shall” is used to indicate mandatory requirements while descriptive statementsare used to provide non-mandatory information.
1.2 System overview
The guidance system shall provide the telescope control system with corrections to keep thetelescope pointing at the designated target and have it in focus within the specified accuracies. Theinstruments on the telescope that are to receive light are:- SALTICAM (Acquisition and Science role)- PFIS- FIF- Auxiliary Port
All these instruments will be located on the payload of which a layout is given in the figure below.
Figure 1. Payload Layout
Guidance System Specification
Doc No. SALT – 0000AS0000 Issue 1 - 10 -
At each of these stations above a guidance and focusing capability shall be provided. The hardwareto implement this functionality will in principle be two detectors, one for guidance and one forfocusing, and a probe positioning system at each instrument location. The probes will serve as pick-off devices to feed light to the detectors. The probe positioning system shall be closely coupled tothe various instruments to prevent differential flexure due to varying gravitation and temperature.The guidance system has therefore a dual function namely:- Guidance and- Focusing, which will be discussed further in the subsequent sections.
In addition to the guidance described above, which will be default, SALTICAM shall provide pellicleguidance. This shall be implemented by directing part of the light to SALTICAM by means of thepellicle. In this mode the focusing will be as for the default guidance.
1.2.1 Guidance:Provide the TCS with the movement of the centroides of the designated guidance objects relativeto their initial position at a specified frequency. These measurements will enable the TCS to sendcorrective commands to the Tracker to keep the telescope pointing at the science object within theclosed loop guidance requirement of 0.1”. The guidance corrections as calculated by the guidancesystem can be depicted as follows:

1.2.2 Focusing:Provide the TCS continuously with a focus error. The selected guidance objects will be imaged asin and out of focus objects on another detector. The difference in size or energy of the two imageswill be proportional to the focus error and can be depicted as follows:

Table 1 Description of ModesMode DescriptionOff Power to Payload Computer and all other subsystems are
switched ofStandby The Payload Computer is running, but power to all
subsystems switched off. The Payload computer switchespower to all the subsystems except itself.
Initialisation Payload Computer powers up all subsystems of theGuidance System and homes all sensors:
• Zero all commands to actuators• Check system Health (sensor/CCD readings)• Do Homing• Go to PARK position
Ready The Guidance probes are parked in previous positions,waiting for new commands.
• Report commanded & feedback values (positions,velocities, motor currents, temperatures)
• Report System HealthCCD controllers maintain previous state, reporting systemhealth.
Positioning Probes are positioned in the guidance field in accordancewith TCS commands. Images from the detectors aredisplayed at a selected rate.
Imaging Guide probes are parked in the required position forguidance. Guidance and focus imaging are executedaccording to specifications and appropriate corrections fedto the TCS.
Maintenance Mode for maintenance and calibration purposesMajor Fault Any errors, which prevent guidance system functions being
executed, will put the guidance system in this mode. Sensorreadings and status reporting will continue in this mode.Depending on the error, commands to actuators might bezero and closed loop position control ceased. In this modeerror reporting must be sufficient to guide the telescopeoperator to the source of the problem.
Shutdown This mode is the opposite of power up and the followingactions will be performed:
• Move system to PARK position• Zero all commands to actuators• Check system Health• Switch power off

5.4.3 Personnel and Training
5.4.3.1 OPERATION
SALT will be operated from the control room at the telescope. A SALT operator (SO) and aSALT Astronomer (SA) will be on duty during the whole night, for every operational night. Any ad hoc repair work will be performed by the SAAO standby maintenance staff, to becalled by the SO when required. The SO will have a National Diploma (N6/S3) or equivalentqualification in electronic or mechanical engineering or have adequate experience. The SAwill be a PhD astronomer.
5.4.3.2 MAINTENANCE
SALT will be maintained by the SAAO staff at Sutherland and Cape Town. Personnel willbe trained in the maintenance of SALT, and be granted a “SALT – license” upon completionof training. All maintenance work carried out on SALT will be supervised/signed off by aSALT licensed person. It is anticipated that the following people will be required to maintainSALT:
At Sutherland:Mechanical Technician: 2Electronic Technician: 1Electrical Technician: 1In Cape Town:Mechanical Engineer: 1Electronic Engineer: 1Software Engineer: 1
These positions should not be SALT only, i.e. these personnel must be part of the SAAOtechnical staff, who will also work on the other SAAO telescopes. Thus, two Electronictechnicians, each working 50% on SALT, can constitute the one full time ElectronicTechnician listed above.
One mechanical and one of the electrical/electronic technician will also be required to be onstandby during every night of operations. These standby personnel will form part of thenormal SAAO standby team.
In the above requirements, “Technicians” require a N6, T3 or equivalent qualification, and“Engineer” means an S6 or Bachelors degree in Engineering and/or Computer Science.
The Guidance system shall be designed to be operated and maintained by the mentionedpersonnel, keeping in mind that only a small fraction of the human resources can beallocated to the Guidance system.

7 Test Requirements
7.1 Verification cross-reference Matrix
Per paragraph in sections 3,4,5 and 6, identification of how the product’s compliance of therequirement will be measured to test compliance is indicated in the table below.
Note that compliance to a requirement may be proven at the “system” (S), “subsystem” (SS) orcomponent (C) level, depending on the particular requirement (e.g. the mass of the total product canbe proven by weighing all the components, it needn't be in the assembled state).
The "Test Method" may be any one of the following:_ Review (R) - the design is reviewed and it is obvious to all whether or not the item complies
(e.g. whether or not the system has a particular mode)._ Inspection (I) - the completed item is inspected and compliance can be easily observed. This
is normally used for physical characteristics such as colour, dimensions and mass._ Testing (T) - this entails a technical effort whereby the system is stimulated in a certain
fashion and its response compared to the required response._ Analysis (A) – compliance of the design to the requirement is proved by mathematical
analysis.
