I think the software id number is definatly way wrong its been 1.0.6 since kcor was in Boulder and we definatly have made a couple software changes so I am not sure what this value should be. The Camera Lookup values are not progrmatically stripped out of the c:\kcor\kcoconfig.ini file like we have been striping the ID's for the last 2 days. ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Mar 20 17:05:12 GMT 2015 Per note from Joan.

Data taken before 18:53 had blank DIFFSRID,CALPOLID,TCAMLUT and RCAMLUT. For the DIFFSRID I had been trying to write its value into DIFFUSER instead. For CALPOLID I mispelled CALPOLID as COLPOLID in the hwconfig.ini file so we didnt pick up a value for that. And in the CAMLUT I was writing the LUT value into the CAMID values which over wrote the expected CAMID and put nothing into the LUT values. After correcting these issues I took a couple frames with the cover in (see 20150320_190418_kcor.fts) which show expected values for the DIFFSRID, CALPOLID, TCAMID, RCAMID, TCAMLUT nad RCAMLUT. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Mar 20 19:16:50 GMT 2015 Thin cirrus still making it impossible to run the corongraphs ___end___ Fri Mar 20 19:47:22 GMT 2015 COMP Start Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Mar 20 19:32:12 GMT 2015 Taking some streaming data to calibrate the Kcor ND5 filter/cover.
