Accomplishments of Week Ending 2/13/07

1) Installed Teledyne's data reduction package at Arizona for cross-checking results.

2) Reached agreement with Teledyne on analysis of read noise data from first batch of SCAs.

3) Held a coronagraph and cal source review at ATC.

4) Barr measured the transmitted wavefront error on a prototype filter, and it met requirements.
