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

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.

The experiment started late. The CRDS97 vex file had not been made available on the ftp site and the operator had not recieved a distribution.

  • Experiment started extra late. Nominal start time was 226.17:57:21 however Hobart wind was very high (Lucas).
    • consistent wind stows - 17:57:21 to 19:08:49 UT
    • 19:11:26 to 19:42:44
    • 19:54:07 to current
  • Stow released at 07:59:08 UT (Prad).
  • 08:54:53 UT - error m5 -900 : already off and error m5 -906 mark5 return code 6: inconsistent or conflicting request. The recording halted as a consequence of the above error (Prad).
  • 09:28:47 UT - For the previous 28.7 minutes, there was a watchdog warning which prevented the log from getting updated.
  • 09:30:33 UT - The recording started.
  • Stow activated from 09:49:01 - 10:24:49 UT (Prad).
  • Recording started 10:25:46 UT (Prad).

  • Apart from late, experiment started okay (Lucas).
    • First scan no0325 at 17:57:21 (note that experiment first scan was no319; Lucas).
  • The scan no. 0478(0923-0928UT as seen in the summary file) didn't take place. The vex file showed that the Katherine is not scheduled for that scan (possibly owing to source being under horizon). An minor mistake in the summary file (Prad).

  • 1830UT - Experiment started okay (Patrick).
  • 06:20UT - DBBC started drifting. Unfortunately I needed to reconfigure it (Lucas).
    • Missed scan 222-0631
  • 07:50UT - clock jump, but maserdelay and clkoff look stable for now (Katie).
  • 09:15UT - Drifting got worse, reconfigured dbbc. (Katie)
    • Missed scans 222-0914, 222-0926. Affected possibly 222-0912a and 222-0926.
