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.

Hobart 12m
Disk VSN: flexbuffhb
- 18000UT Experiment started okay (Prad).
- Flexbuff stopped recording between 1945 and 2029 UT. Disks full.Jamie freed up space and the recording resjumed around 2100UT.
Katherine 12m
Disk VSN: flexbuffke
- 18000UT Experiment started okay (Prad).
- The flexbuff wasn't recording for the first 10 minutes. 'setupvgos' prompted the flexbuff to start recording. Missed 041-1800 to 041-1807b. Recording started halfway through 041-1810.
- Large difference (~6 microsec) between maserdelay and dbbc3delay, also seen in DBBC3 output. related to maser instability (JMC)
- Another jump ~05 UT (JMc)
- 0543 - Halted schedule to resynch. Delays now returned to ~4 microseconds and offset from maserdelay be ~0.11 microseconds (JMc)
- 0555 - Further jumps. Unclear if the frequency is also glitching or just the PPS. Continuing on as dbbc3delay readings seem stable (JMc)

- 17300UT Experiment started okay (Lim).
Katherine 12m
Disk VSN: flexbuffke
- 17300UT Experiment started okay (Lim).
- 1738UT no data recorded since session started. Restarted jive and re-run proc=aum025ke and setupvgos, data is now being recorded. Missed scans 040-1730 to 040-1735.
- 1949UT unfortunately the dbbc delays were bad, probably due to the power interruption after setup and before the experiment started. dbbc3 were re-configured and delays are normal again (Lim).

Disk VSN: HOB+0106 | Data volume at beginning: 0.0 GB
- 17300UT Had an issue with the timeyg, the schedule started 17:29UT, the first scan was recorded while the antenna still slewing, probably missed the source (Lim).

- Received an -103 pointing computer tracking errors are too large and qo -301 warning: onsource status is slewing quite regular (mas)
- 1224UT Module full. Unable to switch over as no-one is at Yg (Eloise)
