Not sure if this is an effect of all the changes going on with MKIV but it shouldn't hurt to reset the KCC while MKIV is still domed out.

Noticed that barrel stopped after first scan,this occurred before the Cancels. David is currently trying to get things to work. **MKIV PROBLEM**: Fri Aug 27 17:18:09 GMT 1999 Barrel stalled again. Downloading new version of code again. Fri Aug 27 17:26:12 GMT 1999 MKIV Start Patrol **MKIV PROBLEM**: Fri Aug 27 17:53:42 GMT 1999 David removed routine using raw data from the code and the program now works. Barrel is scanning and the MKIV gif images are being displayed on nahenahe--very nice!

PICS COMMENT: Fri Aug 27 19:30:58 GMT 1999 Will begin by testing software routine and taking a set of focus data with micrometer setting at "original" setting of 15373.5 Hartman mask 3 cm. wide placed across middle of O1 in east/west direction.

We decided to do the data entry via phone and use abort to stop the program as end did not work. Pausing test to determine which way camera moves per micrometer entry and to set camera forward of current focus. PICS COMMENT: Fri Aug 27 20:02:53 GMT 1999 Founf directional info on sheet of paper that was hiding under the notepad. A jog of micrometer UP, moves the camera to the rear. Moved the camera forward 1000 microns and will begin test at 14365.9 and move in +200 micron increments (approximately).

Tested it and it works so test is proceeding. PICS COMMENT: Fri Aug 27 20:23:30 GMT 1999 Ran from 14365 back to 15373. Running +1000 microns beyond old setting now. PICS COMMENT: Fri Aug 27 20:37:19 GMT 1999 OK, ran thru micrometer settings. Focus on disk looked good between 15373 and 15573(approximate). I will try 3 more settings, approximately 15273, 15473, and 15673.... uh, maybe one more at 15873. PICS COMMENT: Fri Aug 27 20:41:14 GMT 1999 pushed camera forward to new micrometer setting 15264 and will work back again. PICS COMMENT: Fri Aug 27 20:51:26 GMT 1999 OK, test is pau. Setting focus back close to where it was, securing camera, replacing covers, and removing Hartman mask.

These will be analyzed there probably using an IDL program to determine the best focus. MKIV COMMENT: Fri Aug 27 21:34:36 GMT 1999 Stopped, doing an End Day to initialize the barrel and then resetting the KCC to pick up latest version of David's software for test.

Resetting KCC and trying again. **MKIV PROBLEM**: Fri Aug 27 22:05:55 GMT 1999 Could a "4p" I typed in while cursor was in akamai window by mistake, did not do a return because Messages were flying by at the time, cause program to screw up??? Fri Aug 27 22:07:38 GMT 1999 MKIV Start Patrol **MKIV PROBLEM**: Fri Aug 27 22:08:28 GMT 1999 KCC display is back. I almost did it again... mouse had moved cursor into akamai window unbeknownst to me, and I started typing a log entry. fortunately David has the system *IN USE* via rlogin. Nothing got written to akamai window by that screw-up.
