| + | ===== Yarragadee Maser VNC Not Working ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ** Symptom ** | ||
| + | * VNC for maser pc is not working from the drop-down menu | ||
| + | * Manually attempting to VNC to the maser pc returns some form of unreachable message | ||
| + | |||
| + | ** Solution ** | ||
| + | * Contact staff at Yg and ask them if they can reboot the maser pc | ||
| + | * Once the pc comes back online, it should now be reachable by VNC | ||
| + | * Start maser server software, top right corner on Desktop | ||
| + | * Start maser management software (and check everything is still nice and green) | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Yarragadee IF rack ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The PIC in the IF rack at Yg has a problem that prevents diode switching and hence Tsys measurements. The | ||
| + | preob procedure in station.prc has been edited to comment out systemp12. Will need re-enabling when tsys is back (Jim) | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Yarragadee Network ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | If the network connection to Yarragadee dies, the VPN could need reseting: | ||

| + | |||
| + | ===== Humidity monitor at Yarragadee ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The weather sensor at Yarragadee is currently away for repair (humidity sensor is broken). Weather is still being logged but from a separate sensor that is not connected to the Field System. Until our sensor is repaired and returned, there is an extra procedure to go through to recover the weather information: | ||
