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.

- 18:30 Experiment started OK. (Ross)
- 07:33 UT dbbc drifting. Reconfiguring the dbbc. Affected scans: 271-0737, 271-0738b, 271-0742 (Simin).

- 18:30 Experiment started OK. (Ross)
- 15:10UT Noticed the System Monitor for Yg says antenna is stowed, however Az El are changing and no indication of stow on timeyg. Maybe something for Jamie to check? (Arwin)
CRDS98
Hobart 26m
Disk VSN: HOB-0106/16000 | Data volume at beginning: 0.00 GB
- CRDS98 was unable to be slogged. This seems to be due to the schedule coming in vex format.
- on newsmerd:
wget ftp://cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov/vlbi/ivsdata/aux/2018/crds98/crds98.vex
to download
- then cp to /vlbobs/lba/crds98/ on newsmerd (make directory [mkdir /vlbobs/lba/crds98] if it does not exist)
- For hobart26m drudg, from ~/ on newsmerd, run
slogit.lba.v4.sh OR slogit.lba.v3.sh
Look at the vex file, if it contains HOBART or HOBART26 as the station name (most likely) then v4. If is is HOB_DBBC or HOB_MK5 run v3. Do not download new file. vex must be in (e.g) /vlbobs/lba/crds98/
- For ke and yg, run
slogit.lbake.sh etc
.
- Receiver was stuck slightly (~40 mm in x/y) off S/X. Moved to K-band [22GHz, number 8] receiver which is closest (see http://ra-wiki.phys.utas.edu.au/index.php?n=MtPleasant26m.ReceiverPositionsAndSystemTemperatures) then back to S/X [1] and this seemed to work.
- Got error from mk5=dot? Dot clock/mode not set? Decided to power cycle mk5hb and restart dimino with ./dim crds98ho. This worked and resolved the error and another error about NTP error.
- 269.17:30:00 Experiment started okay (Lucas).
- Looks like hobart fs needs reboot, ERROR sc -8 setcl less than 30 days before time error, reboot as soon as possible. (Lucas).
- Almost all system temperature readings bad. Correct BBCs, rxp and LO.
