PMAS, the Potsdam Multi-Aperture Spectrophotometer, is a novel integral field spectrograph which is being developed at AIP. The project is funded jointly by the Verbundforschung of BMBF, and by AIP.
During 3 nights of service time on May 28-31, 2001, the PMAS instrument was mounted at the 3.5m Telescope of Calar Alto Observatory in Southern Spain, experiencing its first test at the telescope.
The main purpose of this commissioning run was to provide and test the optical alignment with the telescope, to test all opto-mechanical, electronic and software interfaces, balancing, stability tests, and generally operation under real observing conditions.
