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.

I ran pointing checks in between the previous experiment (AUA051) and this experiment, as both 12m antennas were displaying 'Tracking errors are too large', i'm fairly sure they were purely because there was not enough time between scans to get on source

- 1730UT Experiment started okay (Lucas).
- 20:00 UT Noticed that disk position was far in excess of expected disk position. Schedule seems fine however with disk_record on and off. Monitoring (Lucas).

Disk VSN: HOB+1010/16000/1024 | Data volume at beginning: 13529.39 GB
- 1700UT - Experiment started OK (Tiege).
- 2135UT - Have noticed something appears wrong with the cross-over switches currently at Ke. They are currently just displaying numbers. Will investigate. (Tiege).
- 2142UT - Halted the schedule and tried running xodirect, this returned an rfpcn timeout. Needed to restart Rxmon on pcfske, then run xodirect in the field system to fix. Unsure if this was just being displayed wrong (hence Rxmon needing a restart) or if the switches were not actually in 'direct'. Missed scan 098-2140a (Tiege)
