The barrel was stuck at the CW limit with the GUI showing the drive command oscillating back and forth with the stop command, the scan GUI screen showed the position oscillating between 90 and 0 degrees, cycling the main KCC power didn't clear the problem. I tried pulling the Opal Status card back out of its seating to break any electrical connections it has in KCC and the barrel immediately started turning normally. This is how the card was positioned in the past, we didn't use it, so I'm leaving it this way. I cycled the main KCC power and the barrel pointed correctly to the starting position. I tried a scan and it works correctly, it's too cloudy for data right now so I'll pause after this one scan. ___end___ Thu Jul 13 17:34:12 GMT 2006 MKIV End Patrol Thu Jul 13 18:00:14 GMT 2006 PICS Flat Thu Jul 13 18:02:38 GMT 2006 PICS End Flat Thu Jul 13 18:02:49 GMT 2006 PICS ReStart Patrol Thu Jul 13 18:02:48 GMT 2006 CHIP LSD Thu Jul 13 18:04:33 GMT 2006 CHIP End LSD Thu Jul 13 18:04:42 GMT 2006 CHIP BiasLSD Thu Jul 13 18:05:24 GMT 2006 CHIP End BiasLSD Thu Jul 13 18:05:32 GMT 2006 CHIP Bias Thu Jul 13 18:06:14 GMT 2006 CHIP End Bias Thu Jul 13 18:06:21 GMT 2006 CHIP ReStart Patrol COMMENT: Thu Jul 13 19:35:07 GMT 2006 Extended the dome slot. ___end___ Fri Jul 14 01:06:54 GMT 2006 MKIV Start Patrol MKIV COMMENT: Fri Jul 14 01:07:03 GMT 2006 Overcast is thinning, trying some obs. ___end___ Fri Jul 14 01:24:46 GMT 2006 MKIV End Patrol Fri Jul 14 01:24:52 GMT 2006 MKIV Start Cal Fri Jul 14 01:44:22 GMT 2006 MKIV Start Patrol Fri Jul 14 02:09:43 GMT 2006 CHIP End Patrol Fri Jul 14 02:10:10 GMT 2006 PICS End Patrol Fri Jul 14 02:14:02 GMT 2006 MKIV End Patrol NICE MK4 IMAGE: 0153 NICE PICSDISC IMAGE: 1830 NICE PICSLIMB IMAGE: 0113 NICE CHIP IMAGE: 2003 Fri Jul 14 02:32:34 GMT 2006 MkIV 01_06.rawmk4 01_21.rawmk4 01_47.rawmk4 02_02.rawmk4 17_31.rawmk4 01_09.rawmk4 01_27.rawmk4 01_50.rawmk4 02_04.rawmk4 c01_24.rawmk4 01_12.rawmk4 01_34.rawmk4 01_53.rawmk4 02_07.rawmk4 c01_31.rawmk4 01_15.rawmk4 01_40.rawmk4 01_56.rawmk4 02_10.rawmk4 c01_37.rawmk4 01_18.rawmk4 01_44.rawmk4 01_59.rawmk4 17_28.rawmk4
