When the motor is able to move it has a very limited range (compared to the N-S) before it faults out and the driver shuts down. I cannot tell if it is the motor or the controller itself. I was going to do a test of using the N-S controller on the E-W motor but the cables have opposite gender and I cannot find a gender changer. At this point labview seems to be able to ignore the fault, but we have no way of repeatable adjusting the occulter if we lose alignment. ___end___ Sun Aug 12 18:32:40 GMT 2012 MKIV End Patrol Sun Aug 12 18:32:51 GMT 2012 MKIV Start Cal Sun Aug 12 18:51:47 GMT 2012 MKIV End Cal Sun Aug 12 18:51:53 GMT 2012 MKIV Start Patrol Sun Aug 12 20:03:26 GMT 2012 CHIP End Patrol Sun Aug 12 20:04:21 GMT 2012 COMP End Patrol Sun Aug 12 20:05:54 GMT 2012 H-ALPHA End Patrol Sun Aug 12 20:08:47 GMT 2012 MKIV End Patrol Sun Aug 12 20:13:23 GMT 2012 MKIV Start Patrol Sun Aug 12 20:13:33 GMT 2012 COMP Start Patrol Sun Aug 12 20:13:40 GMT 2012 H-ALPHA Start Patrol Sun Aug 12 20:13:02 GMT 2012 CHIP Start Patrol NOTE BY BEN: Sun Aug 12 21:23:26 GMT 2012 Some low clouds are moving up the mountian; may have to close soon ___end___ Sun Aug 12 21:38:17 GMT 2012: PSPT Abort Patrol Sun Aug 12 21:37:34 GMT 2012 CHIP End Patrol Sun Aug 12 21:38:24 GMT 2012 COMP End Patrol NOTE BY BEN: Sun Aug 12 21:38:28 GMT 2012 Some fog blew past the observatory, domes are now closed until things clear up ___end___ Sun Aug 12 21:40:24 GMT 2012 H-ALPHA End Patrol Sun Aug 12 21:42:38 GMT 2012 MKIV End Patrol Mon Aug 13 00:09:54 GMT 2012: PSPT Start Patrol Mon Aug 13 00:13:16 GMT 2012 MKIV Start Patrol Mon Aug 13 00:13:27 GMT 2012 H-ALPHA Start Patrol Mon Aug 13 00:12:54 GMT 2012 CHIP Start Patrol Mon Aug 13 00:14:01 GMT 2012 COMP Start Patrol Mon Aug 13 00:25:28 GMT 2012 COMP End Patrol Mon Aug 13 00:43:38 GMT 2012 CHIP End Patrol Mon Aug 13 00:46:24 GMT 2012 H-ALPHA End Patrol Mon Aug 13 00:48:51 GMT 2012 MKIV End Patrol Mon Aug 13 00:52:47 GMT 2012: PSPT Abort Patrol Mon Aug 13 00:53:05 GMT 2012 MkIV 00_13.rawmk4 17_23.rawmk4 18_29.rawmk4 19_41.rawmk4 20_52.rawmk4 00_16.rawmk4 17_26.rawmk4 18_35.rawmk4 19_44.rawmk4 20_55.rawmk4 00_19.rawmk4 17_29.rawmk4 18_42.rawmk4 19_47.rawmk4 20_58.rawmk4 00_22.rawmk4 17_32.rawmk4 18_48.rawmk4 19_50.rawmk4 21_01.rawmk4 00_25.rawmk4 17_35.rawmk4 18_51.rawmk4 19_53.rawmk4 21_04.rawmk4 00_28.rawmk4 17_41.rawmk4 18_54.rawmk4 19_56.rawmk4 21_07.rawmk4 00_30.rawmk4 17_45.rawmk4 18_57.rawmk4 19_59.rawmk4 21_10.rawmk4 00_33.rawmk4 17_48.rawmk4 19_00.rawmk4 20_02.rawmk4 21_13.rawmk4 00_36.rawmk4 17_51.rawmk4 19_03.rawmk4 20_05.rawmk4 21_15.rawmk4 00_39.rawmk4 17_54.rawmk4 19_06.rawmk4 20_13.rawmk4 21_18.rawmk4 00_42.rawmk4 17_57.rawmk4 19_09.rawmk4 20_16.rawmk4 21_21.rawmk4 00_45.rawmk4 17_59.rawmk4 19_12.rawmk4 20_19.rawmk4 21_24.rawmk4 16_57.rawmk4 18_02.rawmk4 19_15.rawmk4 20_25.rawmk4 21_27.rawmk4 17_00.rawmk4 18_05.rawmk4 19_18.rawmk4 20_28.rawmk4 21_30.rawmk4 17_03.rawmk4 18_08.rawmk4 19_21.rawmk4 20_31.rawmk4 21_33.rawmk4 17_06.rawmk4 18_11.rawmk4 19_24.rawmk4 20_34.rawmk4 21_36.rawmk4 17_09.rawmk4 18_14.rawmk4 19_27.rawmk4 20_37.rawmk4 21_39.rawmk4 17_12.rawmk4 18_17.rawmk4 19_30.rawmk4 20_40.rawmk4 c18_32.rawmk4 17_15.rawmk4 18_20.rawmk4 19_33.rawmk4 20_43.rawmk4 c18_38.rawmk4 17_17.rawmk4 18_23.rawmk4 19_36.rawmk4 20_46.rawmk4 c18_45.rawmk4 17_20.rawmk4 18_26.rawmk4 19_39.rawmk4 20_49.rawmk4
