Abstract

The MCAO Assisted Visible Imager and Spectrograph (MAVIS) is a new high-resolution instrument operating in the visible band (370-935 nm) that will be installed at the Nasmyth A focus of the ESO VLT UT4. The system is characterized by an Adaptive Optics Module (AOM), a Calibration Unit, an Imager and an IFU Spectrograph. The project recently passed the Preliminary Design Review and is currently in the Final Design phase which is expected to end in December 2024, according to the current schedule. In this paper we present the improvements in the AOM control electronics architecture, the new control cabinets layout and the strategy adopted to cable the AO sub-modules.
