Abstract

The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, with its 4m aperture, is the largest telescope for observations of the Sun, and is currently in its Operations Commissioning Phase. During this phase of the project, the five DKIST first light instruments, the Visible Broadband Imager (VBI), the Visible Spectro-Polarimeter (ViSP), the Diffraction-Limited Near-Infrared Spectro-Polarimeter (DL-NIRSP), the Cryogenic Near-Infrared Spectro-Polarimeter (Cryo-NIRSP) and the Visible Tunable Filter (VTF) are used in selected modes to acquire scientific data. We provide an overview of the DKIST instrumentation system and its inherent flexibility. We further report on lessons learned during commissioning, and present sample data products.
