We report initial performance results emerging from 600 hours of observationswith the Automated Planet Finder (APF) telescope and Levy Spectrometer locatedat UCO/Lick Observatory. We have obtained multiple spectra of 80 G, K andM-type stars, which comprise 4,954 individual Doppler radial velocity (RV)measurements with a median internal uncertainty of 1.35 ms$^{-1}$. We find astrong, expected correlation between the number of photons accumulated in the5000-6200$\AA$ iodine region of the spectrum, and the resulting internaluncertainty estimates. Additionally, we find an offset between the populationof G and K stars and the M stars within the data set when comparing theseparameters. As a consequence of their increased spectral line densities, M-typestars permit the same level of internal uncertainty with 2x fewer photons thanG-type and K-type stars. When observing M stars, we show that the APF/Levy hasessentially the same speed-on-sky as Keck/HIRES for precision RVs. In theinterest of using the APF for long-duration RV surveys, we have designed andimplemented a dynamic scheduling algorithm. We discuss the operation of thescheduler, which monitors ambient conditions and combines on-sky informationwith a database of survey targets to make intelligent, real-time targetingdecisions.
