Complete overcast towards the Eastern horizon, with patches revealing cirrus. Vog is above 12,000ft and a fog bank at about 10,000ft in the East as well. Little bit of drizzle now and then; will wait for better weather before opening the domes. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Sat Mar 29 16:55:55 GMT 2014 Fog bank has rolled in. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Sat Mar 29 20:05:58 GMT 2014 This morning I was able to get a shabar.exe to run on the windows 7 laptop after removing all of the national instruments softare I installed yesterday and installing DAQmx9.2 fresh. The shabar.exe was built on kcor and I saved the projectd file on the kcor machine to c:\shabar. This is not a perfect solution since we cannot debug/look at the shabar code while kcor is observing; but the shabar codebase has been fairly stable for at least a year so this shouldnt be to much of an issue. On monday I will try to find a reasonble way to commit what I did to svn, although there isn't much to contribute as the main thing I changed was building a new project file. With the executable built on kcor, and the winxp shabar laptop offline we are now only using 3 labview liscense at Mauna Loa instead of the 4 we were using yesterday. If/when it clears up this weekend we need to do some more testing to see how shabar talks to the usb-6211 when it sees a signal. For now Thanks for all the help Lisa. ___end___ ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Sat Mar 29 20:10:10 GMT 2014 Seems like Ben has Shabar back online. Only waiting for better weather to varify that it is indeed working. Just a note, when you hit stop, the gride that normally appears when it is stopped isn't there anymore. Just make sure the run button is white.Thank you Ben!! ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Sat Mar 29 20:58:41 GMT 2014 Raining now... ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Sun Mar 30 01:33:20 GMT 2014 Currently snowing and it's sticking pretty well, heading down now. ___end___
