----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Dec 8 17:10:07 GMT 1998 Year: 98 Doy: 342 Observer: yasukawa WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Dec 8 17:11:50 GMT 1998 Cool, in thick cirrus and altocumulus overcast, light southwest breeze. LOW-L COMMENT: Tue Dec 8 17:12:22 GMT 1998 LOWL time and date OK. I am going to shut it off to check CTS-10 card and CPU for batteries. Will shuffle tapes. Removing L00562, Will move L00563 to drive 0 and load Loo564 into drive 1 when restarting. LOW-L COMMENT: Tue Dec 8 19:38:32 GMT 1998 LOWL checkout pau. CTS10 battery was at correct voltage, CPU battery was a little low at 3.1 V, rated at 3.6 V. Time and Date came up funny when I started back up. Followed Darryl's procedure to config the CTS and date and time still came up funny, reset CPU and then date and time was correct. Keyboard is flaky, but I think that is because we swapped the original for the PC's when it got flaky since we use the PC keyboard more and the LOWL's hardly ever. WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Dec 8 21:17:25 GMT 1998 Cirrus is thinning and altocumulus has burned off. Pointing spar and attempting CHIP and PICS observations.
