Abstract

China SONG telescope would achieve the goal for long time continuous, uninterrupted, full automatic observation and works in the diffraction limit condition, what's more, it must realize 0.3 arc second tracking precision without guide star. This paper describes the integration and fine-tuning of the China SONG Drive Systems. It discusses the different problems encountered during the integration and commissioning. The servo model that was used to simulate the problems and to find new solutions is described as well as test results and advanced analysis methods.
