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.

  • 0004UT - Experiment Started Okay (Liz)
  • 02:49UT - Missed scan 338-0248b, I think perhaps due to the same slow to slew problem as previous experiment. For the most part the telescope is tracking fine but sometimes not…(Liz)
  • 0451UT - “previous source in this schedule not reached before new source was commanded” on scan 338-0450 (Tiege)

  • 00:12UT - Experiment now okay, had to re-config dbbc from last experiment. Before first scan seemed okay but got sync_err3 after this. So halted sched etc to re-sync with fmset. Fine after this. eremote also died before first scan but fs vnc okay (Liz)

  • 00:00UT experiment started okay, but may have just missed start time due to module change. Would say first good scan was 338-0014 at 00:14UT just in case (Liz).

  • 00:00 UT - experiment started OK (Patrick)
  • 00:00 UT - Lots of windstows, check with 'grep wind c1706ho.log'
  • 02:55 UT - Telescope does not reach stow sometimes when windstowing. Keep an eye on the live page, and issue an extra 'source=stow' command if the elevation is not changing. (Patrick)
  • received multiple warning of windstows, error m5 -900:already off, and error f1 -1 previous source in this schedule not reached before new source was commanded (04:46:10 UT till 07:01:38 UT) (mas)
  • At 07:00:00 UT, Warren called and halted the schedule for Hobart 26m (mas)
  • Started recording again at 07:24:37 UT (mas)
  • Received Alarm:error f1 -1 previous source in this schedule not reached before new source was commanded at 10:31:30 UT,10:34:24 UT, 10:38:23 UT, 10:40:52 UT, 10:44:02 UT, 10:45:48 UT, 10:50:12 UT, 10:52:24 UT, 10:54:20 UT, 10:57:12 UT, 10:59:20 UT,11:02:06 UT, 11:09:44 UT, 11:18: 13 UT and 11:20:06 UT. The left and right drives are OFF. Hydraulics fault/OFF. Have tried remote reset via the v-desk terminal on newsmerd, but activity idle. Have informed Warren and he go to Mt Pleasant. (mas)
  • Halt the schedule at 11:21:44 UT (mas)
  • Missed scans from scan 337-1033 to 337-1146 (mas)
  • Start recording again at 11:50:09 UT (mas)
  • 1806 UT missed scan 337-1806b due to slow slew speed. (Bryn)
  • 1909 UT missed scan 337-1909 due to slow slew speed. (Bryn)
  • 2330 UT missed scan 337-2327 missed, probably same slow slewing (Liz)

  • 00:00 UT - experiment started OK (Patrick)
  • 2334 UT - at 22:00 UT approx. delay difference appears to start drifting rapidly (linear-like drift), may have stabilised at ~ -0.335 in the last few scans. Will monitor until end of experiment (in about 20mins), then reconfigure dbbc in break. (Liz)
