R4892:

CRD102:

Ho: 1307UT - fmset puts the field system time 6.2 seconds ahead of the Mark5 and Computer time, this seems to result in scans ending (and starting) ~5 seconds ahead of schedule (when going off the log time). We are in the last 50 mins of the experiment so I am going to leave as is rather than spend 25 mins restarting machines and end up losing more data than would be (potentially) saved. (Tiege)
- on going issue. Jamie will solve it tomorrow. Get the 26m to log the time difference

R1894:

Yg: pcfsyg disk filled up 15 minutes before experiment started. Needed to remove some old epi/png files from the auto_corr_test directory. (Tiege)
- Cronjob to clean up directory everyday
- New machine coming in a few months with new system.
- Might still need to use the old system.

AOV035:

Ho: 1725UT - Cryo monitoring system not working at Ho (ERROR ma -4 Device rx timed-out on response). I have replaced the cryomon and rxmon procedures with nops in EXPERIMENT procedure library for the time being, because otherwise it waits for each rx measurement to time out. I have also commented out the rxmon command in the midob procedure in STATION library, as that is also waiting for timeout, and screwing up scan timing. (Patrick)
- Fixed by resetting TTY distributor with “reset” switch on old S/X MarkIV rack. Serial communications from Hobart to s/x receiver are still patched through this rack. (Warren and Brett)
1725UT - wx command not working. (Patrick)
- Path failure.
- Ups failed (lost power)
- Working now.
