摘要
The 17m diameter MAGIC Cherenkov telescope was completed in its nominal configuration and started commissioning in summer 2004. MAGIC has emphasized technical innovation in its design. Standard operation regularly involves the largest reflector in the world, active mirror control, analog optical transport of the signal, a fully programmable two-level trigger and 300 MHz signal digitizers. We describe the general performance during the first months of datataking.
