(High peaks on the double humps). As the instrument came above the dome way the high peaks flattend into the bad signal we have been seeing for the last week. ___end___ Thu Nov 8 17:44:23 GMT 2012 MKIV Start Patrol Thu Nov 8 17:50:49 GMT 2012 MKIV End Patrol Thu Nov 8 18:00:37 GMT 2012 CHIP LSD Thu Nov 8 18:02:36 GMT 2012 CHIP End LSD Thu Nov 8 18:02:45 GMT 2012 CHIP BiasLSD Thu Nov 8 18:03:45 GMT 2012 CHIP End BiasLSD Thu Nov 8 18:03:53 GMT 2012 CHIP Bias Thu Nov 8 18:04:35 GMT 2012 CHIP End Bias Thu Nov 8 18:04:42 GMT 2012 CHIP ReStart Patrol Thu Nov 8 18:28:44 GMT 2012 MKIV Start Patrol Thu Nov 8 18:34:59 GMT 2012 MKIV End Patrol Thu Nov 8 19:06:07 GMT 2012 CHIP End Patrol Thu Nov 8 19:08:25 GMT 2012 CHIP Start Patrol Thu Nov 8 19:25:00 GMT 2012 MKIV Start Patrol Thu Nov 8 19:28:59 GMT 2012: PSPT Start Patrol Thu Nov 8 19:38:02 GMT 2012 MKIV End Patrol Thu Nov 8 21:02:05 GMT 2012 MKIV Start Patrol Thu Nov 8 21:08:20 GMT 2012 MKIV End Patrol Thu Nov 8 21:18:17 GMT 2012 MKIV Start Patrol Thu Nov 8 21:24:32 GMT 2012 MKIV End Patrol Thu Nov 8 21:24:37 GMT 2012 MKIV Start Cal Thu Nov 8 21:43:37 GMT 2012 MKIV End Cal Thu Nov 8 22:03:37 GMT 2012 MKIV Start Patrol Thu Nov 8 22:45:53 GMT 2012 MKIV End Patrol Thu Nov 8 23:02:39 GMT 2012 CHIP LSD Thu Nov 8 23:04:32 GMT 2012 CHIP End LSD Thu Nov 8 23:04:40 GMT 2012 CHIP BiasLSD Thu Nov 8 23:05:24 GMT 2012 CHIP End BiasLSD Thu Nov 8 23:05:32 GMT 2012 CHIP Bias Thu Nov 8 23:06:08 GMT 2012 CHIP End Bias Thu Nov 8 23:06:16 GMT 2012 CHIP ReStart Patrol Thu Nov 8 23:37:59 GMT 2012 MKIV Start Patrol MKIV COMMENT BY BEN: Thu Nov 8 23:40:37 GMT 2012 Cleaning part of the retartder drive train. Initalially I thought a dirt build up was part of the optical detector on the rotation stage. Turns out it was just a clump of dirt. ___end___ MKIV COMMENT BY BEN: Thu Nov 8 23:42:12 GMT 2012 Solar intensity (as seen from the fold prism looking toward the mangin) is much brighter then last week. The matches the intensity I see on the o-scope. It now looks like the problem see in the iqu data is related to poor syncing between the rot signal and the camera read out. ___end___ Thu Nov 8 23:46:03 GMT 2012 MKIV End Patrol Fri Nov 9 00:15:16 GMT 2012 MKIV Start Patrol NOTE BY BEN: Fri Nov 9 00:23:12 GMT 2012 Post removal of dirt, the periodic spike pattern appears to be gone. Although it is hard to tell much with so much cirus. ___end___ MKIV COMMENT BY BEN: Fri Nov 9 00:24:05 GMT 2012 Note during retarder cleaning the mk4 spar power was turned off (including, retarder, camera, barrel rotation and mechisims). I dont believe turning this things off and back on had any effect. ___end___ Fri Nov 9 01:01:53 GMT 2012 CHIP End Patrol Fri Nov 9 01:04:11 GMT 2012: PSPT Abort Patrol Fri Nov 9 01:05:41 GMT 2012 MKIV End Patrol NOTE BY BEN: Fri Nov 9 01:11:47 GMT 2012 Cirus never broke. ___end___ Fri Nov 9 01:12:06 GMT 2012 MkIV 00_15.rawmk4 00_44.rawmk4 18_31.rawmk4 21_40.rawmk4 22_30.rawmk4 00_18.rawmk4 00_47.rawmk4 19_25.rawmk4 22_03.rawmk4 22_33.rawmk4 00_21.rawmk4 00_50.rawmk4 19_28.rawmk4 22_06.rawmk4 22_36.rawmk4 00_24.rawmk4 00_53.rawmk4 19_33.rawmk4 22_09.rawmk4 22_39.rawmk4 00_27.rawmk4 00_55.rawmk4 21_02.rawmk4 22_12.rawmk4 22_42.rawmk4 00_30.rawmk4 00_59.rawmk4 21_05.rawmk4 22_15.rawmk4 23_37.rawmk4 00_33.rawmk4 01_02.rawmk4 21_18.rawmk4 22_18.rawmk4 c21_24.rawmk4 00_36.rawmk4 17_44.rawmk4 21_21.rawmk4 22_21.rawmk4 c21_30.rawmk4 00_38.rawmk4 17_47.rawmk4 21_27.rawmk4 22_24.rawmk4 c21_37.rawmk4 00_41.rawmk4 18_28.rawmk4 21_34.rawmk4 22_27.rawmk4
