Remote user had problems with a firewall on their end blocking transfers to their machine. TUI logged in fine but data would not transfer. In the TUI download Widget he got the following error "Failed: invalid command name:"::http::geturl" ". He was using "Symantec Endpoint protection" on Windows XP running TUI 1.9.2. Things worked fine on my Windows Visa machine on-site. My 2nd half observer also mentioned that TUI 1.8.5 (Mac OS10.6.8) was having problems sending data to his machine also, but eventually did (took >5 mins). Humidity can clouds still forming and moving towards us at 04:37, when we called it a night. ------- 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 49 44 9 163 (SSE) 897 cloudy none 17:00 50 44 11 156 (SSE) 930 cloudy none 18:00 50 44 12 203 (SSW) 819 cloudy none 19:00 50 43 17 211 (SSW) 582 cloudy none 20:00 49 43 14 186 (S) 529 cloudy none 21:00 49 40 13 199 (SSW) 449 mstly cldy none 22:00 49 40 15 200 (SSW) 365 cloudy none 23:00 49 37 14 195 (SSW) 260 cloudy none 00:00 49 40 18 183 (S) 402 cloudy lt rain 01:00 48 39 20 199 (SSW) 469 cloudy none 02:00 48 38 22 200 (SSW) 247 cloudy none 03:00 47 40 20 192 (SSW) 461 cloudy rain 04:00 43 43 15 195 (SSW) 10885 cloudy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
