COMMENT: Tue Dec 7 18:33:34 GMT 1999 Late start, had to drop kids off at school before leaving town today. Tue Dec 7 18:34:04 GMT 1999 CHIP Startup--Initializing new tape Tue Dec 7 18:37:58 GMT 1999 MKIV Start Patrol Tue Dec 7 18:38:19 GMT 1999 PICS Start Patrol Tue Dec 7 18:38:19 GMT 1999 PICS Start Patrol **LOW-L PROBLEM**: Tue Dec 7 18:51:09 GMT 1999 LOWL found running this morning, but both tapes were popped out. GUI indicating it was set to drive #1, with 4 files in the spool. Removed L00648 from drive #1 amd L00649 froim drive #0, cleaned both drives. LOaded L00650 into drive #0, L00651 into drive #1. Rebooted CPU, set time and date, Restarted LOWL program, writing to drive #0. **CHIP PROBLEM**: Tue Dec 7 18:55:20 GMT 1999 Just did 4th Cancel Wait to get off of Velocity (4th occurrence). **MKIV PROBLEM**: Tue Dec 7 18:55:55 GMT 1999 Haven't been catching all of the phase reversals so far this morning due to LOWL problem. Tue Dec 7 19:03:09 GMT 1999 CHIP Bias Tue Dec 7 19:04:26 GMT 1999 CHIP End Bias Tue Dec 7 19:04:39 GMT 1999 CHIP Water Tue Dec 7 19:05:27 GMT 1999 CHIP End Water **PSPT PROBLEM**: Tue Dec 7 19:42:58 GMT 1999 Still having difficulty with mirror servo Y-axis. Mirror on LED is not turning on and Y meter indicating no attempt to acquire. Troubleshooting it, but without spare parts or boards, and adequate documentation and training, this will be difficult. **MKIV PROBLEM**: Tue Dec 7 19:46:20 GMT 1999 Phasing reversals are frequent and troubleshooting PSPT makes cataching and fixing them hit-or-miss at best. Tue Dec 7 20:03:05 GMT 1999 CHIP Gain Tue Dec 7 20:23:16 GMT 1999 CHIP End Gain Tue Dec 7 20:23:33 GMT 1999 CHIP Bias **CHIP PROBLEM**: Tue Dec 7 20:23:49 GMT 1999 CHIP stuck at -1000, -500 in Gain cal. Cancelled Wait twice to resume. Was troubleshooting PSPT so it was probably stuck a while.

Checking parameters when it is working.

Parameters while it was working were similar to when it was not for the meter being pegged at the same side during flat-field offsets. The only other similarity that could be a clue was the pspt suddenly locked on and began running at around the same time it did yesterday at 21-something UT. Both times I was troubleshooting with the instrument running but stalled at the place where it was trying to lock on to the sun. I will need to troubleshoot more to find the problem, in the meantime the exercise is useful in helping me understand what is going on on that circuit board.
