Initial Operation and Calibration of the SOLIS Vector SpectromagnetographThe National Solar Observatory's SOLIS Vector Spectromagnetograph (VSM) is designed to observe the Sun's vector magnetic field over the entire visible disk several times per day for at least two decades and will provide important new information about the drivers of CMEs and other s o l a r activity affecting the heliosphere. The VSM is being prepared for temporary installation at the agricultural site of the University of Arizona. We report on the status of the instrument, emphasizing early data and their comparison with observations from the NASA/NSO Spectromagnetograph at the Kitt Peak Vacuum Telescope and the HAO/NSO Advanced Stokes Polarimeter at the Sacramento Peak Dunn Vacuum Tower Telescope.
