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.

  • 18:31:00 Experiment started late. This was due to Katherine e-RemoteCtrl becoming unresponsive and refusing to connect despite multiple restarts. Eventually had to log into pcfs and “pkill” the process and restart e-RemoteCtrl, it repeated the cycle once again before reconnecting properly. (AK)
    1. First Scan for which data was recorded was 076-1839 at 18:39:03
    2. Missed scans 076-1800a through to 076-1833 (starting at 18:33). Missed about 10.7 Gb of data. Though the experiment started at 18:31:00 not sure if it did miss 076-1833?
  • 21:48 UT mk5=dot? time was close to 24 ms. (AK)

    1. WARNING: No PCFS activity for 34.5 minutes.
    2. Check VNC session to see if Field System software is running
    3. Check network connection
  • 07:52 Log monitor and eRemote keep losing connection, either with field system or losing log file setting off inactivity alarm. All is still working on pcfs (Ross)
