Good Seeing. Lately getting a lot of the following types of error when I try to change louver or fan states. Eventually they do turn on or off, but requires two or more trys at sending the change of state. 00:52:48 APO.gabrelle 403 telmech f errtxt="invalid literal for int(): LOUVER.ON" 00:53:09 APO.gabrelle 404 telmech f errtxt="invalid literal for int(): FAN.ON" ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:12 ECHELLE 748( -636) 156 78 4.9 7.2 6.3 7.1 5.0 ND3 0.97 18:44 TSPEC 640( 447) -170 79 4.6 6.0 5.6 5.6 4.4 1.13 00:09 ECHELLE 527( -995) 133 42 4.6 3.9 4.4 4.1 4.0 ND1 0.98 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 47 17 17 267 (W) 1038 mstly clr none 17:00 45 17 15 254 (WSW) 840 mstly clr none 18:00 41 15 13 263 (W) 878 mstly clr none 19:00 41 17 15 243 (WSW) 976 mstly clr none 20:00 41 18 14 265 (W) 987 mstly clr none 21:00 40 16 12 278 (W) 796 ptly cldy none 22:00 41 15 12 272 (W) 770 ptly cldy none 23:00 40 15 13 276 (W) 796 ptly cldy none 00:00 41 15 11 261 (W) 763 ptly cldy none 01:00 40 15 14 242 (WSW) 788 ptly cldy none 02:00 39 15 13 253 (WSW) 793 mstly cldy none 03:00 39 15 13 229 (SW) 732 mstly cldy none 04:00 37 15 8 262 (W) 770 cloudy none 05:00 37 17 9 255 (WSW) 1024 cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
