Fixed on its own after ~10 minutes. * Brett has worked on drives. One of the drives was not responding quick enough, should be fixed. Need to keep trying till it works. * **Ho:** PCFS crashed. Restarted and received ''Allocating memory for antenna monitoring'' error. Fixed with a reboot of drive pc and pcfs * Fixed by killing all vdesk connections, then rebooting drive pc and pcfs if problem persists * **Ho:** PCFS locked up. Restarted vdesk. * Same problem as above * AUA059 * **Ho:** RXP network connection down * Something to do with drive pc and RAKBUS * **Ho:** PCFS crashed. * T2136 * **Ho:** PCFS crashed. Restarted and received ''Allocating memory for antenna monitoring'' error. Fixed after rebooting drive pc (twice) with ''rem_reboot -r rakbus sys26m'' * **Ho:** After drive reboot, receiver switched to Warm S-Band (on its own?). Experiment halted to investigate, Warren went up to receiver cabin and manually changed to S/X. Rebooted rx26m, still something wrong with rx comms. * Related to power outage? * CRF115 * **Ho:** S/X receiver in position, but in manual mode, display will be wrong. * In manual mode, live page & rxp should show correct readings most of the time, but OTTER won't. * X,Y,Z should be correct (read off camera) & reliable * On RXP display, number only matters if you're using the multifeed
