Instrument set-up

The optical element database design was complete and data describing existing relations between mechanisms (wheels, slides, etc.), elements (slits, filters, etc.) and orientations (with respect to the instrument or detector) have been entered. Complimentary, a web application allowing to view and modify certain aspects of the optical element database content (e.g., location) has been developed. This system has now been implemented for ALFOSC and is planned to be implemented for NOTCam and FIES.

Three new FITS headers were implemented to reflect the orientation of the optical elements.
