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.

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)

- 07:35 UT WARNING: error s1 -112 ifpcn: eof pre-draining input, ifpic probably crashed, connection closed . Checked with on call person, Ellen suggested running another test recording to make sure everything is okay. (AK)
- 07:55 UT Lat offsets was slightly greater than 0.02. Ran the “fivept” command again after setting the offsets to zero (as per on call's instructions) which seems to have brought the offsets below 0.02. Output of the two “fivept” scans is given below (AK)
- 07:55:43.19#fivpt#xoffset 250.9413 64.5772 0.00874 -0.03276 0.01198 0.00306 1 1 pictora

- Fringe checks were not performed since we only have one dish operational. (AK)
- Ran another fivept check to make sure offsets are within limits. Source was 1618m49 results are below. Everything looks good (AK)
- 13:34 UT 119.4046 58.4329 -0.00516 -0.00594 0.00271 0.00199 1 1 1618m49
- 18:30 UT Experiment started Okay. (AK)
- 21:06 UT consistently got the following error: “error st -27 computer acu time difference exceeded 0.25 seconds, see value above.” The error stopped around 21:08 UT, wiki suggests it is probably a network issue and only seems to happen when we’re running eTransfers. It can be safely ignored.
