Right now I can talk to all the devices execpt the meadowlark controller. I dont have the proper win 7 64-bit drivers and I can't seem to wake it up over USB. Also I find the camera reads out slowely when trying to center the occulter seems to be about 1fps where I expect something more like 30fps. After testing everything has been reverted back to the Old CoMP pc. A quick test under thin(ish) cirrus seems to suggest everything is working agian. ___end___ **KCOR PROBLEM COMMENT BY berkey **: Tue Apr 8 02:30:28 GMT 2014 While down stairs today I left the guider on and caused a major problem with Kcor. The spar hit the ladder via the LC fibers cables comming out of the kcor box. All 4 LC fiber connetors on the fiber side have been destroyed. The optics box side seems to be ok. Checking the spares cabinet I find only one spare 30meter cable and 2 3meter cables. I have order a second it should be on island on Wednesday so we can maybe have it on the mountain Thrusday. Very downer way to end a long day. ___end___ Tue Apr 8 02:42:31 GMT 2014: PSPT Abort Patrol Tue Apr 8 02:42:34 GMT 2014: PSPT Abort Patrol Tue Apr 8 02:42:38 GMT 2014: PSPT Abort Patrol Tue Apr 08 02:45:05 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol
