Mon Aug 12 19:04:20 GMT 1996 CHIP CHIP Start Patrol MKIII COMMENT: Mon Aug 12 19:05:04 GMT 1996 Vdiff images show distinct concentric rings of alternating light and dark. Maybe a problem with the analog cards. CHIP COMMENT: Mon Aug 12 19:18:52 GMT 1996 FixCenter seems to be driving the O1 farther and farther from where it should be in both X and Y directions. I'll drive it back manually. CHIP COMMENT: Mon Aug 12 19:30:49 GMT 1996 patrol stalled, maybe due to my centering change, will restart after doing the change requested by David. CHIP COMMENT: Mon Aug 12 19:39:00 GMT 1996 Restarting Patrol with new version of Accumulate.

CHIP COMMENT: Mon Aug 12 20:38:55 GMT 1996 FixCenter moving O1 towards lower numbers, I keep moving it manually back to the correct position, it looks like it has stabilized now. MKIII COMMENT: Mon Aug 12 20:50:31 GMT 1996 Stopped taking data, did 0EOF, turned off Analog power, removed and reseated the corrector boards in an attempt to eliminate the concentric rings.

I will stop taking data and reseat the I/O board for channel 1 and rerun setup to hopefully fix these problems. CHIP COMMENT: Mon Aug 12 21:56:39 GMT 1996 Stopped Patrol so David could capture an image to transfer later, stalled on FixCenter, did Kill/Run to resume.

I tried rebooting the computer but the o-scope traces still move across the screen instead of being fixed. The contours of the Corona scans have varied each time I reseated the I/O boards, the connections don't feel tight. The vdiffs show vertical streaks now, instead of concentric, but that may have improved after the last board reseating, it is difficult to tell because of possible noisy sky conditions. 96 CHIP End Bias Mon Aug 12 23:04:36 GMT 1996 CHIP Water Mon Aug 12 23:05:16 GMT 1996 CHIP End Water WEATHER COMMENT: Mon Aug 12 23:10:31 GMT 1996 Orographic clouds are passing by.
