I worked John Nees and Ryan to get the galvos operational. The mirrors are working with labview 10. I will look again into controlling them with labview 8 but it is likely that we will need to get a license for labview 10. Next I will work with Ryan to get a program to give us more useful control over the mirrors than the manual position entry I have now.
Regarding the oil for the rough pump, ALCATEL requires a minimum order of $50. 1 gal of oil is $19 so we can get 3 and have oil for future changes or I can look into a different supplier.
