The first half observer was running the newest version of TUI, and we had some interesting experiences in bug discovery. No time was lost. The second half observer had been having trouble updating and so used the older version of TUI, which went peacefully. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEGDFNVO) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM --------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:52 DISslit -350(1437) -33 72 21.8/23.6 272 9 - 0.82 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 78 30 13 250 (WSW) 551 ptly cldy none 17:01 78 28 11 260 (W) 542 ptly cldy none 18:01 76 25 14 302 (WNW) 645 ptly cldy none 19:01 75 25 12 276 (W) 538 mstly clr none 20:01 72 24 8 280 (W) 592 mstly clr none 21:01 71 24 8 264 (W) 680 mstly clr none 22:01 71 24 10 259 (W) 632 ptly cldy none 23:01 68 36 9 180 (S) 845 ptly cldy none 00:01 68 30 12 238 (WSW) 709 ptly cldy none 01:01 67 26 8 268 (W) 621 mstly clr none 02:01 66 23 0 146 (SE) 808 mstly clr none 03:01 67 20 3 14 (NNE) 641 clear none 04:01 67 17 10 19 (NNE) 462 clear none 05:01 66 15 1 36 (NE) 440 clear none 06:01 65 15 10 14 (NNE) 479 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
