This paper describes the need for a compensator that can adaptively correct for mismatches between the optical beamtrains of a Mid-IR nulling interferometer, across the science bandwidth with a range of spectral dependences.
In this paper we outline our approach and present preliminary results from the Athena Software Development Model (SDM) Summer 2001 Datasets.

The software and hardware implementation for the Penn State University network were discussed. Delayed delivery of radio frequency equipment and signal processing components resulted in modification of the original timetables. It was determined that the best approach for implementing the second very high frequency (VHF) would be when the VHF radar was in reliable and unattended operation. A short summary of the specifications for the three radars is presented.
