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. 2) Attendant List (PLEASE COMPLETE) Bryan Butler bbutler@nrao.edu Leonia Kogan lkogan@nrao.edu Steve Myers smyers@nrao.edu Crystal Brogan cbrogan@nrao.edu Craig Walker cwalker@nrao.edu John Conway John Conway Frederic Gueth Frederic Gueth Stephane Guilloteau "Stephane Guilloteau" Steven Heddle "Steven Heddle" Mark Holdaway mholdawa@nrao.edu Jeff Kingsley, Antenna Division Head jkingsle@nrao.edu Jerome Pety Jerome Pety Jeff Mangum, jmangum@nrao.edu Koh-Ichiro Morita "Morita, Koh-Ichiro" Simon Radford, Site Division Head sradford@nrao.edu Gie Han Tan, System engineering Gie Han Tan Francois Viallefond Frederic Boone Adrian Webster Al Wootten David Woody "Seiichi Sakamoto" Eric Anterrieu (Eric.Anterrieu@cerfacs.fr) Dick Kurz , "Jacob Baars" , "Robert Brown" , "Marc Rafal" , + ASAC members to be confirmed Invited members / reviewers Lee Mundy Mel Wright David Woody 3) Documents To be ready 2 weeks in advance for distribution, or 9 January - Spiral concept (Conway) - uv-metric concept (Boone) - Hybrid concept (Webster) - Imaging tests (Guilloteau, Heddle, others?) 4) Goal of the meeting: select a baseline design to continue with detailed implementation work ... 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.
