Handover Issues

AUA058
- Experiment started late due to disagreement between IVS schedule & observer roster
  - AUA scheduled at a weird hour
  - Double check IVS schedule and AuScope schedule (might happen more often)

AOV042
- Ho: Started late, drives weren't turning on. Fixed on its own after ~10 minutes.
  - Brett has worked on drives. One of the drives was not responding quick enough, should be fixed. Need to keep trying till it works.
- Ho: PCFS crashed. Restarted and received Allocating memory for antenna monitoring error. Fixed with a reboot of drive pc and pcfs
  - Fixed by killing all vdesk connections, then rebooting drive pc and pcfs if problem persists
- Ho: PCFS locked up. Restarted vdesk.
  - Same problem as above
AUA059
- Ho: RXP network connection down
  - Something to do with drive pc and RAKBUS
- Ho: PCFS crashed.
T2136
- Ho: PCFS crashed. Restarted and received Allocating memory for antenna monitoring error. Fixed after rebooting drive pc (twice) with rem_reboot -r rakbus sys26m
- Ho: After drive reboot, receiver switched to Warm S-Band (on its own?). Experiment halted to investigate, Warren went up to receiver cabin and manually changed to S/X. Rebooted rx26m, still something wrong with rx comms.
  - Related to power outage?
CRF115
- Ho: S/X receiver in position, but in manual mode, display will be wrong.
  - In manual mode, live page & rxp should show correct readings most of the time, but OTTER won't.
  - X,Y,Z should be correct (read off camera) & reliable
  - On RXP display, number only matters if you're using the multifeed
