I had to reset them with the keyswitch. Did we loose power on site today? EN01 Night Task List (Monday - Wednesday) Tasks completed ---------------- 1. Reboot axis controllers - Done 4. Zero NA2 rotator - Done 7. DIS (see Russet, she worked on DIS) a. Contamination check b. Focus adj - if contamination allows 8. KOSMOS b. test status commands 9. AGILE a. test headers are in long sequences of exposures in various modes. Data is in /Agile/ directory I zeroed the NA2 rotator, +0.036 I reset drive controllers for NA2, Alt, Az, and Agile. I DID NOT restart the hub I gave up at 03:45 with gusts over 30MPH but clouds forming and dissapating overhead. It looks like some precipitation is also forming now to our N. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- FAILURE MODE TIME PROG INSTR TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:40 dcamera 536( 453) 150 65 10.0 1.9 3.2 1.9 1.5 -- 1.56 22:46 dcamera 394( 204) 120 55 10.0 -0.5 -0.0 -1.1 -0.6 -- 2.70 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 21 259 (W) 1179 clear none 17:00 21 272 (W) 1350 ptly cldy none 18:00 13 295 (WNW) 1739 mstly clr none 19:00 13 311 (NW) 1612 clear none 20:00 10 305 (NW) 1623 mstly clr none 21:00 14 281 (W) 1472 clear none 22:00 6 344 (NNW) 1162 clear none 23:00 2 223 (SW) 1356 clear none 00:00 9 183 (S) 1246 clear none 01:00 15 106 (ESE) 1426 mstly clr none 02:00 14 97 (E) 1802 ptly cldy none 03:00 25 75 (ENE) 1225 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
