  • Can't connect with eremote control, Dave's backup isn't working either - doing setup with VNC. (Bryn)
  • 1700UT Experiment started OK. (Bryn)
  • 2210UT Tiege taking over, current telescope status: telescope working OK. (Tiege)

  • 1646UT Autocorrelations are bad, iread is giving values severely under target levels. Tried resetting the DBBC (Bryn)
  • 1700UT Tried resetting and reconfiguring DBBC, but the IFs are still way under target values. (Bryn)
  • 1720UT ifnom doesn't fix the IFs, no point starting experiment without fixing, as system temperatures are awful. (Bryn)
  • 2210UT Tiege taking over, current telescope status: Currently not observing, Telescope IFs/power levels broken. Bryn said Warren had a go at fixing. Guess I will take another look at it and see if I can get Ke on schedule and observing. (Tiege)
  • 2247UT Still trying to fix this, when I try and restart Monica.IFBox I get 'Socket created', then 'Bind failed'. Probably has something to do with it. DISREGARD THIS, worked second try. (Tiege)

  • Getting lots of errors with the mk5 during setup, probably due to issue with counter (can't run clkoff). Have tried using 'counter' to reset counters, still getting errors as follows:
    • WARNING: error sc -13 setcl: formatter to fs time difference 0.5 seconds or greater
    • WARNING: error sc -23 setcl: mark 5b not sync'd, consider using fmset 's' option to fix.
    • WARNING: error ib -4 gpib device time-out on response c1
    • ALARM: error m5 -104 mk5cn: time-out, connection closed
    • WARNING: error m5 -112 mk5cn: eof pre-draining input, mark 5 may have crashed, connection closed
    • WARNING: error m5 -114 mk5cn: re-open after pre-drain error was okay, proceeding to transaction.
  • Test recording has times way off, but fmset won't run because of the above errors. Have tried restarting the mk5 - no changes. (Bryn)
  • mk5 records fine, mk5=dot reports FHG_on. However, running scan_check causes ERROR m5 -900 Can't XLRRead() (Bryn)
  • Tried physical reboot of system by calling on-site person. Same errors persist. (Bryn)
    • Apparently some work was done on the wiring of Yg since the last experiment. This might be the source of the issue. If so, there isn't anything I can do remotely. (Bryn)
  • Clkoff is working again, after having a manual reset by on-site personnel. Time is not stable, still unable to run fmset. (Bryn)
  • 1700 UT Experiment on hold - still investigating. (Bryn)
  • 2210UT Tiege taking over, current telescope status: Experiment still on hold, still cannot connect to mk5. Going to take another look at this and see if I can sort it out. (Tiege)
  • 2325UT Currently on the phone to brett attempting to fix Yg and Ke, On-site people at Yg are taking a look at the telescope for us while we look at Ke. (Tiege)
