(aka: Light Distribution Tool)
Overview
The light distribution system on the Coudé floor of DKIST plays a central role in how multiple instruments receive light simultaneously. FIDO consists of a suite of dichroic beamsplitters, windows and mirrors, most of which are interchangeable so as to flexibly feed instruments with a variety of passbands in their design spectral ranges. More information is available here.
Tool
The FIDO configuration must be provided for each DKIST submitted proposal. The FIDO Tool must be used to create the confirmation file and submit it with the proposal (this tool was formerly referred to as the Beamsplitter Configuration Tool).
