The High Altitude Observatory and Sacramento Peak Observatory have jointly constructed a second version of the Fourier Tachometer, which is now undergoing final integration and testing. This is an interferometric instrument for measuring the Doppler shift of solar spectrum lines. The principal features and performance goals of this instrument are: simultaneous velocity observations over a 2-dimensional, 100 x 100 pixel field of view; measurement of absolute Doppler shifts with 1 m/s accuracy; noise level for moderate-1 oscillation modes of 1 cm/s for a 1-day observing run; flexibility and ease of use. Early (though incomplete) testing suggests that these goals should be attainable with the current instrument.
