Was monitoring MCC power supply voltages and they are all OK (+4.97V, +11.99V, -12.00V). Reset MCC and restarted. The problem seems to be that MCC stops communicating with PICS and CHIP. Since the MCC power supplies are OK we may have a pc board which is flaky at startup. Since the failure doesn't persist the easiest way to troubleshoot would probably be to swap out boards one at a time. At present however we have no spare MCC pc boards. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Mon May 14 17:02:40 GMT 2007 In cirrostratus, standing down with MK4 and SBM. ___end___ Mon May 14 17:06:08 GMT 2007 MKIV End Patrol Mon May 14 17:38:31 GMT 2007 MKIV Start Patrol WEATHER COMMENT: Mon May 14 17:38:50 GMT 2007 Clear hole, cirrus patch approaching, and then mostly clear beyond.
