Davis recently installed a 20 second timeout to continue the observing sequence incase the Halle filter (and hopefully the occulting wheel too) doesn't make it to its correct position, if a signal indicating the correct wheel or stage position doesn't get to the observing program within 20 seconds then the program wait will timeout and continue with the sequence. There is a 20 second delay between each of the following sets of events shown in the PICS Status window fields: "Program:H-alpha.disk" to "Camera:Busy" and "Program:H-alpha.limb" to "Camera:Busy", could this be the 20 second delay David added? It seems like it should be shorter for one interval because it takes 18 seconds for the Occulting wheel to go from "Occulting" to "Clear" but only 9 seconds to go the other way. It takes 7 seconds for the Halle filter to go in or out. ___end___ **PICS PROBLEM**: Tue Feb 15 22:35:04 GMT 2005 At 2200 UT I redid the timing tests noted earlier with the same results. ___end___ MKIV COMMENT: Tue Feb 15 22:36:13 GMT 2005 Centered occulting. ___end___ **PSPT PROBLEM**: Tue Feb 15 23:21:45 GMT 2005 Crashed at 2240 "Taking CaK image", kill runPspt.pro and restarted. ___end___ COMMENT: Tue Feb 15 23:22:19 GMT 2005 Spar bumped ladder, reset pointing. ___end___ MKIV COMMENT: Tue Feb 15 23:45:38 GMT 2005 Centered occulting. ___end___ **PICS PROBLEM**: Wed Feb 16 00:09:35 GMT 2005 I just finished another 2 sets of checking the mechanism and program timing. Halle In and Out takes 7 seconds like before, Occulting wheel In is 17 to 18 seconds and Out is 8 to 9 seconds - like before. Timing is 20 seconds from Program:H-alpha.disk/limb to Camera:Busy, same for both and same as before. No bad images yet either. ___end___ **PICS PROBLEM**: Wed Feb 16 01:18:08 GMT 2005 Did the timing checks again, all numbers are the same, no slowdown, no bad images either. ___end___ MKIV COMMENT: Wed Feb 16 01:41:16 GMT 2005 Centered occulting. ___end___ Wed Feb 16 02:24:31 GMT 2005 MKIV End Patrol Wed Feb 16 02:24:23 GMT 2005 CHIP End Patrol Wed Feb 16 02:55:19 GMT 2005 MkIV 00_00.rawmk4 01_45.rawmk4 18_50.rawmk4 20_36.rawmk4 22_25.rawmk4 00_03.rawmk4 01_48.rawmk4 18_53.rawmk4 20_39.rawmk4 22_28.rawmk4 00_06.rawmk4 01_51.rawmk4 18_56.rawmk4 20_41.rawmk4 22_31.rawmk4 00_09.rawmk4 01_54.rawmk4 18_59.rawmk4 20_44.rawmk4 22_34.rawmk4 00_12.rawmk4 01_57.rawmk4 19_02.rawmk4 20_47.rawmk4 22_37.rawmk4 00_14.rawmk4 02_00.rawmk4 19_04.rawmk4 20_50.rawmk4 22_40.rawmk4 00_17.rawmk4 02_03.rawmk4 19_07.rawmk4 20_53.rawmk4 22_43.rawmk4 00_20.rawmk4 02_06.rawmk4 19_10.rawmk4 20_59.rawmk4 22_46.rawmk4 00_23.rawmk4 02_09.rawmk4 19_13.rawmk4 21_03.rawmk4 22_49.rawmk4 00_26.rawmk4 02_12.rawmk4 19_16.rawmk4 21_06.rawmk4 22_51.rawmk4 00_29.rawmk4 02_15.rawmk4 19_19.rawmk4 21_09.rawmk4 22_54.rawmk4 00_32.rawmk4 02_18.rawmk4 19_22.rawmk4 21_12.rawmk4 22_57.rawmk4 00_35.rawmk4 02_21.rawmk4 19_25.rawmk4 21_15.rawmk4 23_00.rawmk4 00_38.rawmk4 17_32.rawmk4 19_28.rawmk4 21_18.rawmk4 23_03.rawmk4 00_41.rawmk4 17_35.rawmk4 19_31.rawmk4 21_20.rawmk4 23_06.rawmk4 00_44.rawmk4 17_38.rawmk4 19_34.rawmk4 21_23.rawmk4 23_09.rawmk4 00_47.rawmk4 17_40.rawmk4 19_37.rawmk4 21_26.rawmk4 23_12.rawmk4 00_50.rawmk4 17_43.rawmk4 19_40.rawmk4 21_29.rawmk4 23_15.rawmk4 00_53.rawmk4 17_46.rawmk4 19_43.rawmk4 21_32.rawmk4 23_18.rawmk4 00_56.rawmk4 17_49.rawmk4 19_46.rawmk4 21_35.rawmk4 23_21.rawmk4 00_58.rawmk4 17_52.rawmk4 19_49.rawmk4 21_38.rawmk4 23_24.rawmk4 01_01.rawmk4 17_55.rawmk4 19_52.rawmk4 21_41.rawmk4 23_27.rawmk4 01_04.rawmk4 17_58.rawmk4 19_54.rawmk4 21_44.rawmk4 23_30.rawmk4 01_07.rawmk4 18_01.rawmk4 19_57.rawmk4 21_47.rawmk4 23_35.rawmk4 01_10.rawmk4 18_04.rawmk4 20_00.rawmk4 21_50.rawmk4 23_39.rawmk4 01_13.rawmk4 18_07.rawmk4 20_03.rawmk4 21_53.rawmk4 23_42.rawmk4 01_16.rawmk4 18_10.rawmk4 20_06.rawmk4 21_56.rawmk4 23_45.rawmk4 01_19.rawmk4 18_13.rawmk4 20_09.rawmk4 21_59.rawmk4 23_48.rawmk4 01_22.rawmk4 18_16.rawmk4 20_12.rawmk4 22_02.rawmk4 23_51.rawmk4 01_25.rawmk4 18_22.rawmk4 20_15.rawmk4 22_05.rawmk4 23_54.rawmk4 01_28.rawmk4 18_28.rawmk4 20_18.rawmk4 22_07.rawmk4 23_57.rawmk4 01_31.rawmk4 18_35.rawmk4 20_21.rawmk4 22_10.rawmk4 c18_19.rawmk4 01_34.rawmk4 18_38.rawmk4 20_24.rawmk4 22_13.rawmk4 c18_25.rawmk4 01_37.rawmk4 18_41.rawmk4 20_27.rawmk4 22_16.rawmk4 c18_31.rawmk4 01_39.rawmk4 18_44.rawmk4 20_30.rawmk4 22_19.rawmk4 01_42.rawmk4 18_47.rawmk4 20_33.rawmk4 22_22.rawmk4
