Handover notes
Please use this page to write up any notes on anything that needs to be passed on to the next observer or should go into the end of experiment message.
Notes should be placed below the horizontal line as a new blog entry.
Continuing problems should be copied to the Current Issues page.
**Template for Handover notes:**
Be sure to add any specific notes about the experiment if required, for example “Special back end configuration for x reason”. Put as much detail as you can - the more the better.
====== Experiment Name ====== **Hobart 12m** Disk VSN: abc-123 | Data volume at beginning: 2.34 GB * 1300UT a comment from me (user) **Katherine 12m** Disk VSN: | Data volume at beginning: GB * **Yarragadee 12m** Disk VSN: | Data volume at beginning: GB * 1300UT Experiment started okay (JMc).
Format for entering a comment It is important to stick to this formula - there is a good reason we need this information, so please include it!
Time stamp in UT * Comment * (Your Name)
For Example:
20:00UT: Wind stows, Missed scans 012-3456 to 012-3457 (Jim)
20:50UT: Mark5 lost connection, had to restart Mark5 and reconfigure DBBC, called Jamie on call to fix, missed scans 012-3456 to 012-4567 (Jim)
Again - as much detail as you can. It is important to remember that these notes will be sent to the correlator, so please make sure they make sense to others.

Antenna became stuck when schedule first loaded, required fs restart to get antenna unstuck (warren)

- fs mysteriously terminated at end of aug008, required restart for r4678 (warren)
- Scan 071-2250b missed as source was below the limit.
- s and x band tsys are very high. x band channels 5,6,7 and 8 are affected (vk)

Hobart 12m:
Disk VSN: HOB+0055/8000
Data volume at beginning: 2256 GB
- The last DBBC channel in S-band has a bad autocorrelation. Otherwise autocorrelations and system temperatures appear normal. (Chris)
Katherine 12m:
Disk VSN: HOB+0068/8000
Data volume at beginning: 2288 GB
- Tsys high in S-band channels (Chris)
Yarragadee 12m:
Disk VSN: USN+0227/8000
Data volume at beginning: 1974 GB
- Tsys is poor except in the first four X-band DBBC channels, as documented (Chris)
- 2239 UT Tsys for very high for ch 05-12 (excluding 11 @ 107K) others >250K (JS)

- Counter communication does not exist - a power cycle is probably all that's needed. Values are currently read manually off the webcam, and appear fine. (Chris)
- DBBC channels 14 and 15 have bad autocorrelations. Otherwise autocorrelations and system temperatures appear normal. (Chris)

Katherine 12m:
Disk VSN: USN-0186/2000
Data volume at beginning: 0 GB
- 18:30 UT - Experiment started OK (Ross)
- Tsys bands 05, 08-12 consistently too high (Ellen)
- Problems from 15:53
- 2015.065.15:53:43.01?ERROR st -998 reading SystemClock1
- 2015.065.15:53:43.01?ERROR st -999 Illegal state error
- 2015.065.15:53:43.01?ERROR st -5 Error return from antenna, see Mbus error.
- It appears that recording was OK for the associated scan (065-1557). Repeated error messages after:
- 2015.065.15:58:48.18?ERROR st -10 RampEpochTime not -1 when preparing to load, check antenna is in “operate”.
- Elevation listed at “0”.
- Solved by: halt, antenna=open, antenna=operate, source=stow, halt, resuming schedule. Continued from 16:13:28 (Chris)
