              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
TSPEC was giving 0 byte images during checkout (not tcamera).  Not sure if this is related to the tcamera issues from last night or not.  I tried re-initializing the controllers (I DID NOT power cycle the leach controllers for TSPEC, tcamera leach controllers were power cycled yesterday while troubleshooting that problem).  Still giving 0 byte size images.  It could be the leach controller is unhappy but since TSPEC is not on tonight and tcamera is down I will leave it to daystaff to diagnose further.  I will PR the problem so it also gets attention.
No problems otherwise tonight.
