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.

- 1725UT - Cryo monitoring system not working at Ho (ERROR ma -4 Device rx timed-out on response). I have replaced the cryomon and rxmon procedures with nops in EXPERIMENT procedure library for the time being, because otherwise it waits for each rx measurement to time out. I have also commented out the rxmon command in the midob procedure in STATION library, as that is also waiting for timeout, and screwing up scan timing. (Patrick)
- 1725UT -
wxcommand not working. Returning the following errors: (Patrick)wx#Problem connecting to metserver socketwx#Illegal error class code: 0xffffffff
- 1730UT - Experiment started OK (Patrick)
- 1842UT - Windstowed from 18:42 - 19:25. (Patrick)
- Missed scans: 134-1841b thru 134-1924b
- 1925UT - Field system time out of sync (
ERROR sc -13 setcl: formatter to FS time difference 0.5 seconds or greater). Fixed by runningsy=run setcl offsetin oprin. (Patrick)- Also at 20:46, 22:47, 22:52
- 2300UT - Fixed rxmon/cryomon (ERROR ma -4 Device rx timed-out on response) by resetting TTY distributor with “reset” switch on old S/X MarkIV rack. Serial communications from Hobart to s/x receiver are still patched through this rack. (Warren and Brett)
- 1200UT- Onsource status is slewing (Momtaz)!

- 1724UT - Experiment started late, pcfsyg disk filled up 15 minutes before experiment started and I did not notice until it was time for first scan. Needed to remove some old epi/png files from the auto_corr_test directory. First scan of experiment is 133-1724a. (Tiege)

- 1400UT Experiment started okay (Lucas).
- 1307UT - fmset puts the field system time 6.2 seconds ahead of the Mark5 and Computer time, this seems to result in scans ending (and starting) ~5 seconds ahead of schedule (when going off the log time). We are in the last 50 mins of the experiment so I am going to leave as is rather than spend 25 mins restarting machines and end up losing more data than would be (potentially) saved. (Tiege)
