I removed the tape P01381 from the drive, it was labeled with yesterdays
date and was write protected.

**PICS PROBLEM**: Wed Mar  3 18:46:20 GMT 1999
The disk image looks overexposed at the current exposure setting of 3.

**PICS PROBLEM**: Wed Mar  3 19:06:13 GMT 1999
I found an email from David saying he changed the limb exposure from 25 to
10 and the disk exposure from 3 to 2.  For some reason the exposures
are still 25 and 3, so I changed them to 10 and 2 in the ProgramDefs
script which can be found in /local/usr/local/src/ACOS/Bin directory.
**PICS PROBLEM**: Wed Mar  3 19:15:00 GMT 1999
The disk images now look great, the focus looks better than I've ever
seen it.  The display gain is set to 4 to see the best image quality, but that
causes the limb images to be overexposed, so I am trying different limb
exposure settings to find the setting that works the best with the display
gain of 4.  
**** EVENT COMMENT ****: Wed Mar  3 19:40:41 GMT 1999
A faint CME has been in progress since about 1841 ut at PA=250, there is
a nice small EPL at that location also.
CHIP COMMENT: Wed Mar  3 19:58:15 GMT 1999
The EPL at PA=250 is visible in the images as continuum scaled pixels at the
front of the EPL, indicating a doppler shift away from us.

**MKIV PROBLEM**: Wed Mar  3 20:45:10 GMT 1999
I noticed the last scan looked funny and that the barrel was stuck at
azimuth=278 +/- 2 degrees, it was kind of oscillating slightly.  I waited
for a full 6 minutes hoping that it would clear by the next cycle where
the barrel is at the same place and going in the same direction as the
software might see it (although in reality it just sat there for those
6 minutes and wasn't really turning according to the Barrel Angle LED
readout on the OCP panel.  That worked, the problem cleared itself, it
is scanning normally again.

**** EVENT COMMENT ****: Wed Mar  3 21:07:57 GMT 1999
CME is still in progress.
PICS  COMMENT: Wed Mar  3 21:08:27 GMT 1999
The camera needs to be centered in th X direction, I will hold off on doing
that until after the CME is finished because I'll be bumping the Spar
around while I adjust the camera.  The optimum exposure times appear to be
3 msec for the limb images and 5 msec for the disk images.  The Display Gain
should be set to 2 when adjusting the exposure, to get the most accurate
view displayed in the Display window of what the actually sees.  During
normal observations the Display Gain also works well when set to 2.

MKIV COMMENT: Wed Mar  3 22:35:26 GMT 1999
The CME looked like it was finished so I finally started the calibration,
then I noticed that the dome slot was starting to cut off the PICS and
CHIP so I quickly ran up and extended the slot before the cal could start.
But I didn't make it, the first quadrant of the first cal scan was affected
by having the dome shutter blocking the sun.  So I will do another cal after
this cal, the 2nd cal is the good one.
PICS  COMMENT: Wed Mar  3 22:39:11 GMT 1999
I'll try to do the camera adjustment tomorrow, not enough time left today.

**MLSO PROBLEM**: Wed Mar  3 23:45:15 GMT 1999
Network crashed while I was logged into Boulder writing an email.  Sure would
be nice if we had our own email server up here.
**MLSO PROBLEM**: Wed Mar  3 23:54:56 GMT 1999
I was able to login to Boulder using the modem and RAS account.
