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.

Hobart 26m:
Disk VSN: HOB+0055
Data volume at beginning: 996.374GB
- Wind stowed for large part of experiment (Ross)
- 23:20 UT — Power outage (Dave)
- 00:20 UT — Recovered station from outage and returned to schedule. However, antenna is still wind-stowed. (Dave)
- After power was restored, Jim noticed the receiver was in the wrong position. Data before this point may be useless.
- Weather not available after power outage.

- 01:10UT - antenna went into windstow, wind gusts exceeding 100km/h, for safety, halted schedule and stowed antenna (IJ)
- 03:30UT antenna came out of windstow (IJ)
- telescope is continually windstowing, not sure which scans have been missed or which ones are actually good (IJ)
- Shift handover: scans prior to 329-0556 may have been recorded whilst antenna windstowed but not noted — Ross Turner 2015/11/25 06:17
- Windstow: 06:00 (shift handover) – 09:42 (field system restart required to unstow)
- scans 329-0556 – 329-0941a
