| **General Issues** | **General Issues** | ||
| - | * When do observations start in the New Year? | + | * Remote observing: anyone tried it? comments, questions, tips? |
| - | * **First session 2nd January (R4)** | + | * Seems to work well. |
| - | * Additional sessions (not regular IVS) will be added in | + | * Still access card only after Easter, but UTAS is strongly discouraging people to be on campus. Might change. |
| - | * Warkworth will join a series of new AUSTRAL experiments next year (30-40) | + | * Some problems with network access. Waiting on IT department for support for this. |
| - | * First 2020 meeting: **16th January** | + | * There are notes for using SSH gateway as an alternative to VPN. Linked off remote observing page, walks through setting up an SSH tunnel. |
| - | * If there are problems in last 2 weeks of 2019, contact Jamie/Warren | + | * checkmk5 procedure missing from proc files? |
| + | * Jamie will look into slogit & see if it's a simple fix. | ||
| + | * Mixed mode updates? | ||
| + | * Observing procedure same as before. Still configuring & monitoring outside field system. | ||
| + | * Future version of FS will be able to do everything itself. | ||
| + | * Fibre works on Mon/Tues | ||
| + | * Took out wiki, since been repaired. Shouldn't recur | ||
| + | * ops-serv2 was left off after power works 2 weeks ago. | ||
| + | * **Ho drives:** | ||
| + | * One of the drives can struggle to start. Motor encoder, affecting Y2 drive. | ||
| + | * Might need to start drives (using vdesk), then let it sit for a bit before moving it. | ||
| + | * Can see this looking at camera. Y2 drive current meter doesn't move. | ||
| + | * If it still doesn't work, this is a job for Brett or Warren | ||
| + | * Eric will probably need to replace motor encoder. | ||
| **Handover Issues** | **Handover Issues** | ||
| - | * AUA058 | + | * AUA063 |
| - | * Experiment started late due to disagreement between IVS schedule & observer roster | + | * **Yg:** Started on flexbuffyg, switched to mk5yg later |
| - | * AUA scheduled at a weird hour | + | * fs machine was unbootable day before, couldn't fix it. |
| - | * Double check IVS schedule and AuScope schedule (**might happen more often**) | + | * ran using a script outside the field system, bit of a kludge |
| - | + | * had mk5 or module issue, possibly an issue with the mk5 iteslf. Alternative recording system is using dbbc + flexbuff. Might need to switch to this. | |
| - | * AOV042 | + | * R1941 |
| - | * **Ho:** Started late, drives weren't turning on. Fixed on its own after ~10 minutes. | + | * **Yg:** pcfs froze, needed restarting |
| - | * Brett has worked on drives. One of the drives was not responding quick enough, should be fixed. Need to keep trying till it works. | + | * pcfs machine is getting old. replacement machine is being configured onsite, will switch over at some point. |
| - | * **Ho:** PCFS crashed. Restarted and received ''Allocating memory for antenna monitoring'' error. Fixed with a reboot of drive pc and pcfs | + | * APSG46 |
| - | * Fixed by killing all vdesk connections, then rebooting drive pc and pcfs if problem persists | + | * **Ho:** |
| - | * **Ho:** PCFS locked up. Restarted vdesk. | + | * wrong receiver on axis. |
| - | * Same problem as above | + | * Mk5 module write protect error |
| - | * AUA059 | + | * Module was used in Tidbinbilla (modified mk5C). Causes issues if it's not erased before recording. Can't add to the module. |
| - | * **Ho:** RXP network connection down | + | * Possibly not an issue with jive5ab, vs. dimino |
| - | * Something to do with drive pc and RAKBUS | + | * Focus platform linear bearings came loose, needed fixing |
| - | * **Ho:** PCFS crashed. | + | * Have intercom to listen to cryogenics in focus cabin |
| - | * T2136 | + | * Heard clunking, paused observation to go up and fix it. |
| - | * **Ho:** PCFS crashed. Restarted and received ''Allocating memory for antenna monitoring'' error. Fixed after rebooting drive pc (twice) with ''rem_reboot -r rakbus sys26m'' | + | * Daily check from Mt Pleasant is good. |
| - | * **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. | + | * Received continuous errors "Allocating memory for antenna monitoring". Fix was rebooting sys26m. |
| - | * Related to power outage? | + | * Usually because drive pc has run out of monitoring points. Possibly due to network issues. |
| - | * CRF115 | + | * Can often fix by terminating field system & restarting |
| - | * **Ho:** S/X receiver in position, but in manual mode, display will be wrong. | + | * Check for any unnecessary / spare vdesk sessions & close them |
| - | * In manual mode, live page & rxp should show correct readings most of the time, but OTTER won't. | + | * Guaranteed way to fix is rebooting sys26m, but this takes a while (~4 minutes) |
| - | * X,Y,Z should be correct (read off camera) & reliable | + | |
| - | * On RXP display, number only matters if you're using the multifeed | + | |
