Pausing now to switch back to older good MV200 board. ___end___ Tue May 19 19:32:21 GMT 2009 MKIV Start Patrol MKIV COMMENT: Tue May 19 19:37:47 GMT 2009 Installed our older good spare MV200 board with its digital input module back in place. Put newest MV200 board back in its box and both that and our older box of MV200 parts back in the electronics parts cabinet next to the workbench Currently we need 2 new Digital Input modules to be able to make up 2 good spare MV200 boards, Allen is looking into getting us those. ___end___ Tue May 19 19:44:29 GMT 2009 MKIV End Patrol MKIV COMMENT: Tue May 19 19:57:29 GMT 2009 Data look decent, stopped Patrol. Now I'll try to peak up the signal by re-aligning the camera. ___end___ Tue May 19 21:21:11 GMT 2009 MKIV Start Patrol MKIV COMMENT: Tue May 19 21:21:59 GMT 2009 I was able to gain a little more amplitude in the signal, can't get both humps to be the same height unless I reduce the left hump in height and width, but we've always had a taller left hump. ___end___ **CHIP PROBLEM**: Tue May 19 21:27:14 GMT 2009 Adjusted the centering manually. ___end___ Tue May 19 21:45:00 GMT 2009 MKIV End Patrol Tue May 19 21:54:04 GMT 2009 MKIV Start Cal Tue May 19 22:12:46 GMT 2009 MKIV End Cal MKIV COMMENT: Tue May 19 22:14:21 GMT 2009 I just ran a Cal, now I'll run a Correct to see what the display looks like for the next step of the camera installation process, then I'll run another Cal. ___end___ Tue May 19 22:15:56 GMT 2009 MKIV Start Correct Tue May 19 22:17:30 GMT 2009 MKIV End Correct Tue May 19 22:20:50 GMT 2009 MKIV Start Cal Tue May 19 22:22:20 GMT 2009 MKIV End Cal Tue May 19 22:23:38 GMT 2009 MKIV Start Patrol MKIV COMMENT: Tue May 19 22:22:34 GMT 2009 Aborted that Cal because the Opal was in after the Correct and I think that made the Cal start with an incorrect setup. Will run 2 Patrol scans to get the barrel back to normal stop position and run a Cal. ___end___ Tue May 19 22:25:55 GMT 2009 CHIP End Patrol Tue May 19 22:26:19 GMT 2009 PICS End Patrol MKIV COMMENT: Tue May 19 22:27:11 GMT 2009 After running the 1st Cal and a Correct I can see faint corona on the realtime display for the first time with this camera in place, I'm not sure which changed things Cal or Correct, Unfortunately there is also a lot of concentric ring type noise also more visible in the scans. ___end___ Tue May 19 22:31:42 GMT 2009 MKIV Start Cal MKIV COMMENT: Tue May 19 22:31:56 GMT 2009 Actually the Cals start with the Opal in so I was OK when I stopped the 1st cal, I didn't need to stop it, but the increased noise threw me off. ___end___ Tue May 19 22:50:22 GMT 2009 MKIV End Cal Tue May 19 23:22:12 GMT 2009 MkIV 16_48.rawmk4 17_30.rawmk4 18_11.rawmk4 18_52.rawmk4 21_57.rawmk4 16_51.rawmk4 17_33.rawmk4 18_14.rawmk4 18_55.rawmk4 22_03.rawmk4 16_54.rawmk4 17_36.rawmk4 18_17.rawmk4 19_32.rawmk4 22_09.rawmk4 16_57.rawmk4 17_38.rawmk4 18_20.rawmk4 19_35.rawmk4 22_23.rawmk4 17_00.rawmk4 17_41.rawmk4 18_23.rawmk4 19_38.rawmk4 22_27.rawmk4 17_03.rawmk4 17_44.rawmk4 18_25.rawmk4 19_41.rawmk4 22_34.rawmk4 17_06.rawmk4 17_47.rawmk4 18_28.rawmk4 21_21.rawmk4 22_40.rawmk4 17_09.rawmk4 17_50.rawmk4 18_31.rawmk4 21_24.rawmk4 22_47.rawmk4 17_12.rawmk4 17_53.rawmk4 18_34.rawmk4 21_27.rawmk4 c21_54.rawmk4 17_15.rawmk4 17_56.rawmk4 18_37.rawmk4 21_29.rawmk4 c22_00.rawmk4 17_18.rawmk4 17_59.rawmk4 18_40.rawmk4 21_32.rawmk4 c22_06.rawmk4 17_21.rawmk4 18_02.rawmk4 18_43.rawmk4 21_35.rawmk4 c22_31.rawmk4 17_24.rawmk4 18_05.rawmk4 18_46.rawmk4 21_38.rawmk4 c22_37.rawmk4 17_27.rawmk4 18_08.rawmk4 18_49.rawmk4 21_41.rawmk4 c22_43.rawmk4
