When I went upstairs for morning fills, the smart ion pump controller labeled DIS red was indicating HV and 1.2E-5. It seemed fairly stable, but it should be checked. I did not receive a critical-alerts email about this problem. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:34 ecamera 415( 528) 290 30 15.5 16.7 16.8 16.3 15.6 ND3 0.90 19:51 ecamera 456( 463) 47 77 14.8 15.2 15.8 15.1 15.1 Clear 0.71 00:13 kosmos 300( 1282) -17 51 13.6 13.3 14.0 13.1 13.4 -- 0.72 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 69 34 21 247 (WSW) 617 clear none 17:00 64 33 15 282 (WNW) 871 clear none 18:00 66 32 11 252 (WSW) 643 clear none 19:00 61 27 13 271 (W) 614 clear none 20:00 59 28 14 276 (W) 608 clear none 21:00 59 29 12 271 (W) 727 clear none 22:00 59 28 12 270 (W) 557 clear none 23:00 58 27 8 264 (W) 568 clear none 00:00 58 26 12 288 (WNW) 534 clear none 01:00 57 25 10 308 (NW) 527 clear none 02:00 58 25 12 307 (NW) 575 clear none 03:00 58 22 11 290 (WNW) 554 clear none 04:00 57 22 13 302 (WNW) 579 clear none 05:00 57 24 9 315 (NW) 585 clear none 06:00 57 23 8 352 (N) 500 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
