Automatic setup of SCUBA-2 Detector Arrays

摘要

The detector arrays for the SCUBA-2 instrument consist of TES bolometers with superconducting amplifier andmultiplexing circuits based on Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs). The SCUBA-2 TES arraysand their multiplexed SQUID readouts need to be set-up carefully to achieve correct performance. Algorithms have beendeveloped and implemented based on the first available commissioning grade detector, enabling the array to be set upand optimized automatically.
