Preliminary design review

The following are downloadable PDFs of documents produced for the MagAO-X preliminary design review on May 2, 2017. Note that the instrument design has evolved since this review. Where the rest of the handbook and the attached documents provide conflicting information, the rest of the handbook should be taken as authoritative.

The below sections are also available as a single combined document.
