Found command to fix. We had one incidents where my observers lost their TUI connections. I think these were internet connectivitiy issues. All were running the latest version of TUI. The second half observer had another problem with their TUI disconnecting and crashing. (it seemed to be crashing on them and disconnecting). THis happened a couple times. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:11 agile 270(-1166) 115 64 16.4 18.9 17.5 18.2 16.5 SDSS r 0.70 01:16 dcamera 157( 468) 240 63 12.9 12.9 13.4 12.8 12.6 -- 3.40 02:50 dcamera 195( 526) -120 45 13.4 12.9 13.5 12.8 13.1 -- 3.20 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 67 40 8 220 (SW) 289 ptly cldy none 17:00 69 42 9 264 (W) 280 ptly cldy none 18:00 68 41 5 257 (WSW) 254 mstly clr none 19:00 63 37 4 278 (W) 260 mstly clr none 20:00 61 36 2 260 (W) 238 mstly clr none 21:00 57 42 7 83 (E) 423 clear none 22:00 57 42 6 88 (E) 371 clear none 23:00 56 43 9 93 (E) 491 clear none 00:00 56 44 10 93 (E) 578 clear none 01:00 55 43 11 86 (E) 562 mstly clr none 02:00 56 43 7 95 (E) 538 mstly clr none 03:00 56 41 7 107 (ESE) 497 clear none 04:00 54 42 9 114 (ESE) 518 clear none 05:00 54 44 16 131 (SE) 792 ptly cldy none 06:00 54 45 13 148 (SSE) 858 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
