I'm not sure if Darryl encountered this yesterday, but today was the first time this year that I needed to rotate the main dome in the opposite direction due to the sun passing north of straight-up rather than to the south. Maybe this "declination event" caused some confusion for the pspt dome ephm program?? ___end___ **PSPT PROBLEM**: Fri May 23 22:55:10 GMT 2008 Crashed again attempting to execute dome ephm. K/r ___end___ **PSPT PROBLEM**: Fri May 23 23:12:07 GMT 2008 ditto earlier problem. Sparc control panel message window indicated crash occurring during Centering after the "waiting until .... " message, BTW. (same for previous crashes) ___end___ **PSPT PROBLEM**: Fri May 23 23:32:24 GMT 2008 Not getting anywhere. Still dying trying to do dome ephm after the startup wait after restarting. Killed processes again. This time I will wait a while until the sun gets lower and then try restarting. Hopefully the ephemeris program will be able to deal with the sun past zenith. Problem should go away in a day or so. ___end___ Sat May 24 00:37:32 GMT 2008 CHIP End Patrol Sat May 24 00:37:48 GMT 2008 PICS End Patrol COMMENT: Sat May 24 00:45:48 GMT 2008 Reconfigured dome shutter. ___end___ Sat May 24 00:46:14 GMT 2008 CHIP Start Patrol PSPT COMMENT: Sat May 24 00:46:09 GMT 2008 Retrying restart. ___end___ Sat May 24 00:46:23 GMT 2008 PICS Start Patrol Sat May 24 00:46:49 GMT 2008 MKIV Start Patrol **PSPT PROBLEM**: Sat May 24 00:56:26 GMT 2008 Was barking up the wrong tree! Dome ephm was stalling because the dome shutter cable connector may have snagged the command cable to the dome rotation control box enough to pull out the connector just enough to disable the communication between the control electronics and the drive electronics.

Checked comm connector and wiggling it did not affect the problem. Checked Run relay (large mechanical one) and it was not making good contact. Pushing on the actuator rotated the dome. Will need to troubleshoot further tomorrow -- poor contact or problem with the smaller black relays in the bottom of the box. ___end___ Sat May 24 02:37:46 GMT 2008 CHIP End Patrol Sat May 24 02:38:33 GMT 2008 PICS End Patrol Sat May 24 02:38:58 GMT 2008 MKIV End Patrol Sat May 24 02:43:58 GMT 2008 MkIV 00_01.rawmk4 02_03.rawmk4 18_07.rawmk4 20_14.rawmk4 22_16.rawmk4 00_04.rawmk4 02_06.rawmk4 18_13.rawmk4 20_16.rawmk4 22_19.rawmk4 00_07.rawmk4 02_09.rawmk4 18_17.rawmk4 20_19.rawmk4 22_22.rawmk4 00_10.rawmk4 02_12.rawmk4 18_20.rawmk4 20_22.rawmk4 22_24.rawmk4 00_13.rawmk4 02_14.rawmk4 18_23.rawmk4 20_25.rawmk4 22_27.rawmk4 00_16.rawmk4 02_17.rawmk4 18_26.rawmk4 20_28.rawmk4 22_30.rawmk4 00_19.rawmk4 02_20.rawmk4 18_28.rawmk4 20_31.rawmk4 22_33.rawmk4 00_22.rawmk4 02_23.rawmk4 18_31.rawmk4 20_34.rawmk4 22_36.rawmk4 00_25.rawmk4 02_26.rawmk4 18_34.rawmk4 20_37.rawmk4 22_39.rawmk4 00_28.rawmk4 02_29.rawmk4 18_37.rawmk4 20_40.rawmk4 22_42.rawmk4 00_31.rawmk4 02_32.rawmk4 18_40.rawmk4 20_43.rawmk4 22_45.rawmk4 00_34.rawmk4 02_35.rawmk4 18_43.rawmk4 20_46.rawmk4 22_48.rawmk4 00_37.rawmk4 16_40.rawmk4 18_46.rawmk4 20_49.rawmk4 22_51.rawmk4 00_46.rawmk4 16_43.rawmk4 18_49.rawmk4 20_52.rawmk4 22_54.rawmk4 00_49.rawmk4 16_46.rawmk4 18_52.rawmk4 20_55.rawmk4 22_57.rawmk4 00_52.rawmk4 16_49.rawmk4 18_55.rawmk4 20_58.rawmk4 23_00.rawmk4 00_55.rawmk4 16_52.rawmk4 18_58.rawmk4 21_03.rawmk4 23_03.rawmk4 00_58.rawmk4 16_55.rawmk4 19_01.rawmk4 21_07.rawmk4 23_06.rawmk4 01_01.rawmk4 16_58.rawmk4 19_04.rawmk4 21_10.rawmk4 23_08.rawmk4 01_04.rawmk4 17_01.rawmk4 19_07.rawmk4 21_13.rawmk4 23_11.rawmk4 01_07.rawmk4 17_04.rawmk4 19_10.rawmk4 21_16.rawmk4 23_14.rawmk4 01_10.rawmk4 17_07.rawmk4 19_13.rawmk4 21_19.rawmk4 23_17.rawmk4 01_13.rawmk4 17_10.rawmk4 19_16.rawmk4 21_22.rawmk4 23_20.rawmk4 01_16.rawmk4 17_13.rawmk4 19_18.rawmk4 21_25.rawmk4 23_23.rawmk4 01_19.rawmk4 17_16.rawmk4 19_21.rawmk4 21_28.rawmk4 23_26.rawmk4 01_22.rawmk4 17_19.rawmk4 19_32.rawmk4 21_34.rawmk4 23_29.rawmk4 01_25.rawmk4 17_22.rawmk4 19_35.rawmk4 21_37.rawmk4 23_32.rawmk4 01_27.rawmk4 17_24.rawmk4 19_38.rawmk4 21_40.rawmk4 23_35.rawmk4 01_30.rawmk4 17_27.rawmk4 19_41.rawmk4 21_43.rawmk4 23_38.rawmk4 01_33.rawmk4 17_30.rawmk4 19_44.rawmk4 21_46.rawmk4 23_41.rawmk4 01_36.rawmk4 17_33.rawmk4 19_47.rawmk4 21_49.rawmk4 23_44.rawmk4 01_39.rawmk4 17_36.rawmk4 19_50.rawmk4 21_52.rawmk4 23_47.rawmk4 01_42.rawmk4 17_39.rawmk4 19_53.rawmk4 21_55.rawmk4 23_50.rawmk4 01_45.rawmk4 17_42.rawmk4 19_56.rawmk4 21_58.rawmk4 23_53.rawmk4 01_48.rawmk4 17_45.rawmk4 19_59.rawmk4 22_01.rawmk4 23_56.rawmk4 01_51.rawmk4 17_48.rawmk4 20_02.rawmk4 22_04.rawmk4 23_58.rawmk4 01_54.rawmk4 17_51.rawmk4 20_05.rawmk4 22_07.rawmk4 c17_57.rawmk4 01_57.rawmk4 17_54.rawmk4 20_08.rawmk4 22_10.rawmk4 c18_04.rawmk4 02_00.rawmk4 18_01.rawmk4 20_11.rawmk4 22_13.rawmk4 c18_10.rawmk4
