Symptoms were question marks ??? for data and time, dark image from yesterday was last image, Fault LEDs were lit on DAS modules in shelter. Cycling Data and Instrument computers didn't fix problem at first. I turned off power to Data and Instrument computers again and checked the camera movement - there was no binding. If you look in from the left side of the optics table you will see the camera and multicolor ribbon wrapup to the right side, I unwound the cable from the camera reel by rotating the camera CCW until the limit switch was reached then came back a litt little to get off the switch. That seemed to reset something, everything came up nicely after starting the Instrument and Data computers. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Sun Mar 27 21:42:33 GMT 2005 Low clouds have cleared back and fog danger is low, still have some low clouds and medium cirrostratus overcast above that. Will try to get some data. ___end___ Sun Mar 27 21:43:53 GMT 2005 CHIP Start Patrol Sun Mar 27 21:44:11 GMT 2005 PICS Start Patrol PSPT COMMENT: Sun Mar 27 22:52:32 GMT 2005 Observing, has been for a while now. ___end___ Sun Mar 27 23:20:51 GMT 2005 CHIP End Patrol WEATHER COMMENT: Sun Mar 27 23:21:05 GMT 2005 Low clouds are getting thick and dark, pausing and closing domes. ___end___ Sun Mar 27 23:21:16 GMT 2005 PICS End Patrol Mon Mar 28 01:30:56 GMT 2005 MkIV
