----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Jan 26 17:29:46 GMT 2001 Year: 01 Doy: 026 Observer: yasukawa WEATHER COMMENT: Fri Jan 26 17:30:29 GMT 2001 Cold, clear, strong south wind. Fri Jan 26 17:38:34 GMT 2001 CHIP Start 7 Passband Patrol Fri Jan 26 17:38:42 GMT 2001 MKIV Start Patrol Fri Jan 26 17:38:41 GMT 2001 PICS Start Patrol Fri Jan 26 18:02:00 GMT 2001 PICS Flat Fri Jan 26 18:05:37 GMT 2001 PICS End Flat **MKIV PROBLEM**: Fri Jan 26 18:28:42 GMT 2001 Disconnected BNC at rear of Dalsa camera to test whether the analog output is loading the camera. This will eliminate the MKIV monitor display (oscilloscope on OCP). Looking at real-time display for any differences in output. Fri Jan 26 18:32:05 GMT 2001 MKIV Start Patrol **MKIV PROBLEM**: Fri Jan 26 18:33:04 GMT 2001 I do not see any discernable difference in the before and after image. **MKIV PROBLEM**: Fri Jan 26 18:42:24 GMT 2001 Hmmm... signal at real-time image disappeared for some unknown reason after I selected Idle at the turnaround to stop to reconnect BNC at Dalsa camera. **MKIV PROBLEM**: Fri Jan 26 18:44:21 GMT 2001 "disappeared" meaning went flat--like opal or shutter is in, not white. **MKIV PROBLEM**: Fri Jan 26 18:47:22 GMT 2001 Reconnected analog output BNC to Dalsa camera. Fri Jan 26 18:47:51 GMT 2001 MKIV Start Patrol **MKIV PROBLEM**: Fri Jan 26 18:59:33 GMT 2001 CW scan during cal is "dark" again--no coronal image. CCW scan images appear normal. **MKIV PROBLEM**: Fri Jan 26 19:02:21 GMT 2001 Images that were "dark" on the realtime display also appear blank (white) on the xanim display. **MKIV PROBLEM**: Fri Jan 26 19:03:46 GMT 2001 Coronal image is displaying during the CW scan in the realtime display this time around. **MKIV PROBLEM**: Fri Jan 26 19:13:10 GMT 2001 Changing strap in transformation board to change from 960 Hz to 480 Hz. I will be switching: U2 #6 to open U4 #1 to open U4 #2 to closed Then I will reboot the kcc and proceed from there if there are no errors in the code and if coronal images appear at the real-time display. **MKIV PROBLEM**: Fri Jan 26 19:25:06 GMT 2001 During the kcc boot, I saw the folloring error messages flash by: dqSetSurfProcRect(): Fatal error A fatal error has been encountered, causing the program to terminate. and dqSetTimingSwitch( 0x0036d770(INVALID OBJECT), ??_?00005615?. 1 ) dqSetTimingSwitch(): Not an IP device handle dqSetTimingSwitch(): Fatal error Done executing startup script /opt/alakai/mech The gui is up on the monitor and it appears that the boot did proceed to the end. Emailed David to see if we should proceed with Patrol. **MKIV PROBLEM**: Fri Jan 26 19:44:03 GMT 2001 David checked the code, found and corrected the error and I rebooted kcc. Boot proceeded OK with no error messages this time. Fri Jan 26 19:46:02 GMT 2001 MKIV Start Patrol **MKIV PROBLEM**: Fri Jan 26 19:46:51 GMT 2001 Bummer, all I see is "snow" on the realtime display, no coronal image. ... in both CW & CCW directions.

I will restrap the transformation board back to 960 Hz and David will reinstall the 960 Hz code. Then I will reboot kcc to pick it up and then we will (hopefully) proceed with coronal observations. Fri Jan 26 20:19:39 GMT 2001 MKIV Start Patrol **MKIV PROBLEM**: Fri Jan 26 20:21:35 GMT 2001 UGH! realtime display is displaying concentric streaks, no coronal image. **MKIV PROBLEM**: Fri Jan 26 20:31:36 GMT 2001 Picking up a new version of code via kcc reboot. Fri Jan 26 20:33:05 GMT 2001 MKIV Start Patrol **MKIV PROBLEM**: Fri Jan 26 20:35:08 GMT 2001 OK. realtime display back to what was normal this morning.
