Electronic Systems Engineer Summer 2000 |
| CFHT [Summer 1999] |
| Re-engineered fiber optic system for the telescope by cleaning existing fiber, re-installing damaged lines, buying measuring equipment, and initiating a web tool to log changes in the equipment. |
| Implemented Java based tool for website to track signal level of 'goodness', as well as fiber location, to be used by astronomers in their equipment switches. |
|
|
| Characterized optical transcievers for valid signal input including power, and OSNR. |
| Re-routed fiber optic cables from telescope to its servers, and identified the optical integrity of work. |
| Drafted the RGB colour plate motor, and colour wheels using AutoCAD 98 light so that they could be rebuilt, and the old ones placed as back up. |
| Installed new fiber lines at base camp for developers to work on projects from their offices. This involved splicing, and terminating new FC, SC, or FDDI connectors. |
| Implemented documentation and Fiber locator tool using HTML and FLash, to show how to reterminate fiber, measure optical characteristics, and to use maintenance equipment. |
| Presented a tutorial on fiber maintenance, fiber repair, and the actions needed to be taken for future use. |
