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.

- 12:30UT DBBC target levels way too low in ifd, I have now set at 45000 (Ross)
- 17:00UT Experiment started OK. (Ross)
- (044)01:18 UT Swapped to module HART+101 (Warren)
- CHANGE DISK MODULE AT EXPERIMENT END ohig106 to different disk(Warren)

Katherine 12m:
Disk VSN: UAO+0016
Data volume at beginning: 0.385 GB
- 18:30UT Experiment started with an immediate rfpcn time-out error. I halted the schedule, stopped recording and restarted Rxmon. First valid scan is 040-1842b. (Tiege)

- 0545UT (ish). Disk filled up. Now on UVLBI-06 (JL)
Katherine 12m:
Disk VSN: BKG+0120
Data volume at beginning: 0 GB
- 17:00UT Experiment started OK. (JS)
- Weather not being logged. Not sure why. Investigating (JL)
- 11:20 UT ALARM: error m5 -900 not while recording or playing - slow scan when a spec test was run caused this alarm I think. (Bryn)
- 14:23 UT ALARM: error m5 -900 again (Bryn)
Yarragadee 12m:
Disk VSN: OSOD-351
Data volume at beginning: 0 GB
- 17:00UT Experiment started OK. (JS)
- 01:00UT Local disk had filled up, failed to write log file. Observations seem to have gone OK in interim but there is no log. No log written from about 22:05 UT until 01:00 (JL)
