| - Once a setup is complete there may be several hours before the next log entry at the experiment start. In this case, a series of incessant beeps after 15 minutes could get annoying. Pressing the "Reset watchdog" button will reset the log line counter to zero, meaning that the time difference will not be checked again until there's a new entry. | - Once a setup is complete there may be several hours before the next log entry at the experiment start.

| + | To set the optimal timeout values in the log monitor open a terminal on ops2 and type ./watchdog_check.sh <experiment name>, this will return a value to input into the log monitor for each telescope involved in the experiment. | ||
| + | For example: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | ./watchdog_check.sh r4734 | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | Will return: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | hb12: Set watchdog timeout to 12 minutes | ||
| + | ke12: Set watchdog timeout to 16 minutes | ||
| + | yg12: Set watchdog timeout to 19 minutes | ||

| Note the log monitor script can also be started on ops6 (the PC in the "Lounge"). Just open a terminal window and repeat steps 5 and 6 above. Both ops2 and ops6 share the /vlbobs directory, so log recording needs to be started only from one place. | Note the log monitor script can also be started on ops6 (the PC in the "Lounge").
