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.

It is ESSENTIAL to put your name after EVERY entry. Copy and paste the template into the new handover notes

  • Received errors about LO not locked, and MATCN timeout. Warren went out and fixed it.
  • 1730UT Experiment started okay (Patrick).
  • 2135UT Wind stowed. (Patrick)
  • 1337UT PCFS has not been responding since 0916UT, got Error: Allocating memory for antenna monitoring after restarting the fs, solved by restarting drivepc. Resumed schedule even the LO is unlocked (no luck solving, doesn't look urgent from the previous hand-over notes). Missed-scans 239-0917b until 239-1341-a. (Lim)
  • Please be reminded not to submit checklist for now as it will crash the fs (Lim)
  • session no good as LO actually unlocked throughout, not just a comms error(warren)
