Stripcharts are working now. - DiS slitviewer focus. See email. - Repeated problems with Motion Errors. See email. - TUI 1.8.8b1 testing. CU08 was on for about 50 mins in the middle of the 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:12 NA2gdr 1(37001) 189 30 18.8 18.1 18.2 17.7 17.7 1.85 02:16 NA2gdr 1(37001) 258 54 17.4 17.4 17.6 16.6 17.1 1.20 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 72 30 16 303 (WNW) 1534 clear none 17:00 73 32 12 257 (WSW) 1265 clear none 18:00 72 30 8 288 (WNW) 1321 clear none 19:00 71 28 5 355 (N) 1472 clear none 20:00 67 25 2 259 (W) 1558 clear none 21:00 67 24 9 353 (N) 1490 clear none 22:00 66 24 6 12 (NNE) 1300 clear none 23:00 66 24 7 282 (WNW) 1196 clear none 00:00 66 24 2 254 (WSW) 1145 clear none 01:00 66 24 1 215 (SW) 1099 clear none 02:00 62 22 9 14 (NNE) 1077 clear none 03:00 62 22 8 15 (NNE) 986 clear none 04:00 63 22 11 32 (NNE) 978 clear none 05:00 63 23 11 38 (NE) 1042 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
