It looks like it stalled right after the 2nd cal finished, I had Patrol queued up but it didn't start, then I got busy with other stuff and didn't notice, the mouse control wasn't working on the realtime GUI when I tried to move the cursor around and click on buttons. What eventually worked was the combination of turning off the main KCC power and reseating the Vigra video board to see the realtime display again. This old Mk4 sure is being difficult, we don't have a spare Vigra board and can't find spares anywhere, we could probably use the CHIP Vigra board but that would mean losing the CHIP GUI screen at the least, though we really don't use that for anything, then there is probably linked code that looks to see if that board is running OK, but I'm not sure if we really need the CHIP Vigra board to get CHIP data, we may have to find out, if we want to keep the mk4 running without frequent checking and troubleshooting from MLSO workers. ___end___ Mon Mar 19 00:00:38 GMT 2012 MKIV Start Patrol Mon Mar 19 00:14:38 GMT 2012 COMP End Patrol Mon Mar 19 00:14:41 GMT 2012 COMP Start Patrol **GONG PROBLEM COMMENT BY DARRYL**: Mon Mar 19 00:50:10 GMT 2012 It's 58F outside and the turret is oscillating more than any other time today, it doesn't seem like the oscillation is caused by cold temperatures. ___end___ Mon Mar 19 01:13:28 GMT 2012 CHIP End Patrol Mon Mar 19 01:13:23 GMT 2012: PSPT Start Patrol Mon Mar 19 01:13:34 GMT 2012: PSPT Abort Patrol Mon Mar 19 01:13:34 GMT 2012 COMP End Patrol Mon Mar 19 01:14:37 GMT 2012 H-ALPHA End Patrol Mon Mar 19 01:17:28 GMT 2012 MKIV End Patrol **GONG PROBLEM COMMENT BY DARRYL**: Mon Mar 19 00:53:00 GMT 2012 Lightfeed ADC121 is at 1.85 and outside normal operating range, shortly thereafter it is back in normal range. That reading jumps 0.4 or more each readout, which is a lot more than any of the other measured values. The temperature is warm so cold isn't causing the oscillations, they've been happening for about 2 hours in this warm weather. The wind is at about 20 mph from the SSE, maybe that's a factor, it's been windy for many weeks. As I leave today I will go through a stow/unstow cycle on the turret to try to stop the oscillations. I'm not going to cover the turret and heat it with a lightbulb tonight, that's been happening this week as a thermal test. If the GONG guys want us to continue then we can, but I think we should stop because it is not helping and they have enough test data. ___end___ Mon Mar 19 01:49:52 GMT 2012 MkIV 00_00.rawmk4 00_53.rawmk4 17_59.rawmk4 19_02.rawmk4 19_55.rawmk4 00_03.rawmk4 00_56.rawmk4 18_02.rawmk4 19_05.rawmk4 19_58.rawmk4 00_06.rawmk4 00_59.rawmk4 18_05.rawmk4 19_08.rawmk4 20_01.rawmk4 00_09.rawmk4 01_02.rawmk4 18_08.rawmk4 19_11.rawmk4 20_04.rawmk4 00_12.rawmk4 01_05.rawmk4 18_11.rawmk4 19_14.rawmk4 20_07.rawmk4 00_15.rawmk4 01_08.rawmk4 18_14.rawmk4 19_17.rawmk4 20_10.rawmk4 00_18.rawmk4 01_11.rawmk4 18_16.rawmk4 19_20.rawmk4 20_13.rawmk4 00_21.rawmk4 01_14.rawmk4 18_19.rawmk4 19_23.rawmk4 21_24.rawmk4 00_24.rawmk4 17_29.rawmk4 18_26.rawmk4 19_26.rawmk4 21_30.rawmk4 00_27.rawmk4 17_32.rawmk4 18_32.rawmk4 19_29.rawmk4 21_36.rawmk4 00_30.rawmk4 17_35.rawmk4 18_38.rawmk4 19_32.rawmk4 c18_23.rawmk4 00_33.rawmk4 17_38.rawmk4 18_42.rawmk4 19_35.rawmk4 c18_29.rawmk4 00_36.rawmk4 17_41.rawmk4 18_45.rawmk4 19_37.rawmk4 c18_35.rawmk4 00_39.rawmk4 17_44.rawmk4 18_47.rawmk4 19_40.rawmk4 c21_21.rawmk4 00_41.rawmk4 17_47.rawmk4 18_50.rawmk4 19_43.rawmk4 c21_27.rawmk4 00_44.rawmk4 17_50.rawmk4 18_53.rawmk4 19_46.rawmk4 c21_33.rawmk4 00_47.rawmk4 17_53.rawmk4 18_56.rawmk4 19_49.rawmk4 00_50.rawmk4 17_56.rawmk4 18_59.rawmk4 19_52.rawmk4
