====== AuScope VLBI Operations meeting : 8 Oct 2013, AuScope Operations Room: Minutes ======

  - Review of [[operations:obssummary|recent experiments]]. 
    - Experiments reviewed 
      * CRF77  - Hb started with wrong frequency setup, leading to poor data yields. Yg had several clock jumps.
      * RD1307 
      * R4604 
      * AUST13 
      * T2092 
      * RD1308 - Log needs to be sent
      * R4606 
  - Previous Action Items
    - Hb DBBC drifts still occurring? 
      - Seems OK. Not seen in past 2 weeks
    - Yg clock jumps (All, MOBLAS). 
      - None reported but only 2 sessions recently. Keep watching out for it
    - Light in Ke control room (Brett, Martin).
      - Follow-up needed
    - use of blue car (Jim). 
      - Use of the car is restricted to transport between Sandy Bay campus and Mt Pleasant. Home-work transport has FBT implications. 
  - Roster
    - Some changes requested. **To do (Jim)**
    - 20-day marathon. Times OK?
      - 12 AM - 9 AM
      - 9 AM - 5 PM
      - 5 PM - 12 AM
      - Some shifts may need to be tweaked a little (plus or minus an hour) to accommodate availability. 
  - Recent software, hardware changes.
    - PCFS on all three sites.
      - Watch the input filter settings as schedulers still need to update their catalogues
    - DBBC:
      - Use v104_2 at Hb, Yg
      - Use v102 at Ke (hardware change needed for v104_2, needs testing)
      - **Action:** Check Ke (Jim)
  - Operational issues
    - Ke RFI
      - **Monitor full band (Martin, Jim)**
    - Medical Disclosure forms. **Please submit to Karen (all)**
    - Processing logs, multiple disks [[operations:agenda2013_10_08_eg1|Example]]
      - Hand editing required. **Chris has volunteered to look at fixing the script(s)**
  - Q & A
    - Disks. Which module should be used for which experiment? **Imogen setting up a wiki page for this.**
    - Fringe check script. Correlation done but no fringe plot? Ctrl-C after correlation can give you the plots - sometimes (Jamie)  **Changed fcgeo.sh script ** - now uses startcorr.pl rather than mpirun which seems to deal with the problem.
    - Add procedure to Reboot PCFS PCs regularly (at end of week?) - **(Jim)**
  - Next meeting : Thu 31 Oct at 10 AM
