No any progress or change for hours. Tried to issue boss exposure status, after that it shows "Reading", time counts down to zero, and then shows 0.0 and hangs in this status again. We gave a call to John P since we are not opening because of the weather, and there is no BOSS plates scheduled for tonight. 00:52:25 APO.parejkoj 5 boss w text="exposureState timer does not add up (remain=-47561.31 total=69.70)" 00:57:35 .hub 0 cmds d CmdQueued=3877781,1359507455.91,"APO.parejkoj",18,"boss",3021,"clearExposure" 02:20:50 APO.parejkoj: "boss status" checks the exposure state, and if it is bad (e.g., negative time remaining), it resets the timer. 06:00:30 APO.parejkoj: Ok, and now I know why it was in this state: Dan didn't give the correct reload command. 06:03:36 APO.parejkoj: He gave \"boss reloadControllers controllers=sp1cam,sp2cam\", but that doesn't reload the controllers for the daqs. 06:03:50 APO.parejkoj: And that's where the problem was: the daq couldn't connect to its socket. After John's fix we were able to take test bias and flats. 11:00Z APOGEE calibs and scheduler started. BOSS calibs started. Temperature is -12.6C, the sky is cloudy, blowing snow on site, high humidity. We call it a night. T=-12.6C in the morning. ---- Spectroscopy Data Summary ---- Reading FITS from /data/apogee/quickred/56322/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - N UT File/Exp Cart Plate Imagetype Dth Nread Comment - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1 22:53 07600001 18 6486 Dark A 3 None 2 22:56 07600002 18 6486 Dark A 60 None 3 23:07 07600003 18 6486 QuartzFlat A 10 None 4 23:09 07600004 18 6486 ArcLamp A 12 None 5 23:11 07600005 18 6486 ArcLamp A 40 None 6 23:18 07600006 18 6486 ArcLamp B 12 None 7 23:21 07600007 18 6486 ArcLamp B 40 None 8 23:28 07600008 18 6486 Dark A 60 None - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --- OK --- ---- Weather Log ---- Wind 1 um DIMM IRSC Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Dir Dust fwhm mean sigma 19:00 -8.9 -11.5 16.6 260.3 682 19:15 -8.9 -11.7 32.2 251.5 1110 19:30 -8.7 -11.4 26.0 255.8 567 19:45 -8.9 -11.8 24.2 274.5 663 20:00 -8.9 -11.6 27.4 267.3 847 20:15 -9.3 -12.0 26.7 272.1 540 20:30 -9.1 -11.9 30.0 268.6 382 20:45 -9.2 -11.9 22.3 288.5 1968 21:00 -9.1 -12.8 29.4 272.3 2103 21:15 -8.9 -12.4 28.4 271.0 2652 21:30 -8.8 -12.2 30.2 283.1 8421 21:45 -9.7 -13.9 21.9 273.6 13857 22:00 -10.2 -14.6 34.3 279.7 34249 22:15 -9.9 -16.3 33.9 269.6 19887 22:30 -9.4 -17.9 22.1 284.2 17259 22:45 -10.0 -19.1 15.6 253.4 14123 23:00 -9.7 -20.9 19.4 268.1 13653 23:15 -9.5 -20.8 20.4 255.8 31063 23:30 -9.4 -21.3 20.0 292.4 11530 23:45 -9.5 -21.3 27.0 291.6 3456 00:00 -9.6 -21.0 24.0 285.6 1834 00:15 -9.6 -21.3 30.7 295.1 1167 00:30 -9.8 -20.8 21.6 306.8 1406 00:45 -9.9 -20.7 25.1 298.4 1489 01:00 -9.9 -20.4 31.5 297.0 838 01:15 -9.9 -20.2 11.0 281.6 1622 01:30 -10.0 -20.2 17.0 281.0 2261 01:45 -10.2 -19.9 16.3 301.0 2613 02:00 -10.4 -20.6 14.0 295.0 1719 02:15 -10.7 -20.8 33.3 299.2 1319 02:30 -10.8 -20.4 20.4 314.7 2164 02:45 -11.1 -19.6 17.9 306.8 1409 03:00 -11.2 -19.2 16.3 298.7 1371 03:15 -11.2 -18.8 21.0 316.3 1081 03:30 -11.2 -18.7 33.2 303.2 628 03:45 -11.3 -18.6 24.0 295.3 331 04:00 -11.4 -18.6 23.7 300.1 331 04:15 -11.6 -18.3 12.6 324.2 360 04:30 -11.6 -18.0 26.1 323.8 248 04:45 -11.6 -17.6 16.6 300.0 311 05:00 -11.7 -17.3 9.6 331.7 183 05:15 -11.6 -17.2 18.8 313.7 115 05:30 -11.7 -17.1 14.5 319.0 111 05:45 -11.4 -17.1 17.3 310.8 90 06:00 -11.5 -16.8 9.4 327.3 118 06:15 -11.5 -16.8 12.2 308.6 88 06:30 -11.5 -16.7 14.2 322.0 98 06:45 -11.5 -16.3 18.6 301.6 110 07:00 -11.8 -16.2 6.7 4.6 96 07:15 -11.9 -16.1 9.8 319.4 98 07:30 -11.9 -15.8 7.5 286.5 111 07:45 -11.9 -15.7 6.4 310.8 103 08:00 -11.8 -15.6 14.9 333.7 88 08:15 -11.9 -14.7 16.3 311.8 120 08:30 -12.1 -14.0 19.0 329.5 104 08:45 -12.2 -13.8 8.4 279.2 101 09:00 -12.2 -13.9 3.2 279.5 111 09:15 -12.3 -14.3 2.5 306.3 122 09:30 -12.3 -14.3 2.5 333.5 125 09:45 -12.4 -13.8 8.7 330.0 157 10:00 -12.3 -13.8 15.3 300.0 115 10:15 -12.4 -13.7 3.1 308.0 101 10:30 -12.5 -13.9 2.7 251.5 117 10:45 -12.6 -14.6 3.3 243.5 130 11:00 -12.6 -14.7 0.7 245.8 155 ---- Telescope Status ---- We did not open.
