NICFPS again showed the black/white wide bars during checkout tonight (first image). nicfps expose init fixed the problem. I could only get the [0] image to display, the [1] gave me an EOF encountered error (first I seen of this one) Clouds kept us closed all night long. I called it a night at 03:45 but let Anjum continue using AGILE for her testing. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions --------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:00 37 24 7 275 (W) 335 cldy none 17:00 33 19 5 263 (W) 526 cldy none 18:00 32 25 9 262 (W) 339 cldy none 19:00 31 24 3 242 (WSW) 386 cldy none 20:00 30 24 8 222 (SW) 469 cldy none 21:00 30 24 5 254 (WSW) 525 cldy none 22:00 30 25 4 180 (S) 612 cldy none 23:00 31 24 9 175 (S) 723 cldy none 00:00 30 24 9 170 (S) 535 cldy Lt.
