My observer reported some problems with the auto-ftp to his machine tonight, he was running V1.0 of TUI. I suggested he just transfer the data over via the web interface since he didn't have priveleges to install the latest TUI. Other than that everything ran smoothly tonight. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM --------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:27 NICFPS 0(1670) 31 76 15.5/18.8 247 2 J 0.9 21:29 NICFPS 75(1745) 4 37 15.4/15.9 206 11 Ks 0.76 23:17 NICFPS 175(1734) -13 59 15.2/15.2 188 15 J 1.0 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 17:01 67 42 4 240 (WSW) -- Mst.
