  • 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)
  • 2225UT On the Phone to Brett, trying to fix this telescope. Bretty seems to think that something might be off in the telescope pedestal, meaning that the receiver is powered down. Martin is going to go take a look in 20 mins or so. (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)
