OSTI ID:6887950

This document presents the results of the Collector Subsystem (CS) Functional Testing. The testing was performed to demonstrate the systems level operational performance of the CS on a stand-alone basis. The testing involved issuing commands from the Heliostat Array Controllers (HAC's) and veryifying responses by visual observation of the heliostat movements in the field and by observation of the readouts on the HAC displays and printer. All tests were completed successfully. Testing was performed from 9 November 1981 through 18 November 1981.
