----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed May 18 16:27:21 GMT 2005 Year: 05 Doy: 138 Observer: yasukawa WEATHER COMMENT: Wed May 18 16:27:25 GMT 2005 In thick, broken altostratus overcast, SSE wind 13 mph, temp 42 F. ___end___ ECHO COMMENT: Wed May 18 16:30:47 GMT 2005 Time OK. ___end___ **PICS PROBLEM**: Wed May 18 16:48:11 GMT 2005 Halting and turning nene off to replace the bad SIMM. No response by Allen on Bunny's email query to confirm the bad SIMM swap. DOY 05132 logs indicate he swapped modules and do not indicate that he swapped them back so I will assume that the bad module is not in J0400 any more. ___end___ **PICS PROBLEM**: Wed May 18 17:08:13 GMT 2005 Swapped out bad SIMM in slot J0300 with spare module received yesterday from CSMT. Firing nene back up. ___end___ Wed May 18 17:18:47 GMT 2005 CHIP Start Patrol Wed May 18 17:18:57 GMT 2005 PICS Start Patrol **PICS PROBLEM**: Wed May 18 17:20:12 GMT 2005 PICS is still stalling at Accumulate 0->0. Killing processes and halting nene. ___end___ **PSPT PROBLEM**: Wed May 18 17:44:11 GMT 2005 Darryl checked out pump assembly yesterday and found it OK. He reassembled the pump to the motor and tested it--OK. He reassembled the circulator/chiller unit and left it off. I brought up more spring water today and refilled the unit. Turned unit back on--working OK. ___end___ Wed May 18 17:59:56 GMT 2005 CHIP End Patrol WEATHER COMMENT: Wed May 18 18:00:02 GMT 2005 Overcast very thick, stopping CHIP. ___end___ COMMENT: Wed May 18 18:24:42 GMT 2005 Reconfiguring dome shutter while observing halted by clouds. ___end___ **PICS PROBLEM**: Wed May 18 18:33:37 GMT 2005 Confirmed with Allen that the bad mosule was not swapped back into original slot. It was left in slot J0300. I will try swapping the "new" module I installed this morning with another "new" spare. ___end___ Wed May 18 18:45:26 GMT 2005 PICS Start Patrol **PICS PROBLEM**: Wed May 18 18:46:26 GMT 2005 Still stalling at Accumulate 0->0. ___end___ Wed May 18 19:01:09 GMT 2005 PICS Start Patrol **PICS PROBLEM**: Wed May 18 19:02:22 GMT 2005 Swapped out SIMM in slot J0400 with a "new" spare. Still satlling at Accumulate 0->0. Unless there are multiple bad modules in the supply that Vic sent, I believe that the memory is not the problem. There are two new modules installed. ___end___ **PICS PROBLEM**: Wed May 18 19:39:34 GMT 2005 Two images labeled May 18 appear on Hoike's PICS disk display. Times indicate the time I attempted a Patrol but PICS stalled after taking the first halphadisk image. Since the images did not accumulate nor write, today's actual image is not displayed. What is displayed appears to be May 12ths image with a P-angle correction for today's P-angle. ___end___ Wed May 18 20:43:46 GMT 2005 PICS Start Patrol Wed May 18 21:21:05 GMT 2005 PICS Start Patrol Wed May 18 21:39:53 GMT 2005 PICS Start Patrol CHIP COMMENT: Wed May 18 22:18:32 GMT 2005 Stopping CHIP in order to cycle power to MCC to troubleshoot pics. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Wed May 18 22:27:20 GMT 2005 Heavy overcast is breaking up, thinner stuff still up there. ___end___ Wed May 18 22:28:06 GMT 2005 CHIP Start Patrol Wed May 18 22:30:56 GMT 2005 PICS Start Patrol PSPT COMMENT: Wed May 18 23:06:44 GMT 2005 Starting up as holes get bigger. circulator temperature at nominal 68 degrees. ___end___ PSPT COMMENT: Wed May 18 23:20:06 GMT 2005 Observing. ___end___ Wed May 18 23:41:33 GMT 2005 MKIV Start Patrol NICE MK4 IMAGE: 2341 NICE CHIP IMAGE: 2340 Thu May 19 00:23:02 GMT 2005 MKIV End Patrol Thu May 19 00:23:09 GMT 2005 MKIV Start Cal Thu May 19 00:41:59 GMT 2005 MKIV End Cal Thu May 19 00:42:05 GMT 2005 MKIV Start Patrol WEATHER COMMENT: Thu May 19 02:15:49 GMT 2005 In scattered altocumulus clouds. ___end___ Thu May 19 02:16:55 GMT 2005 CHIP End Patrol **PSPT PROBLEM**: Thu May 19 02:16:50 GMT 2005 Found circulator circuit breaker tripped.
