----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Jul 11 15:52:52 GMT 2014 Year: 14 Doy: 192 Observer: berkey WEATHER COMMENT: berkey: Fri Jul 11 15:52:55 GMT 2014 temp 43f, wind 10mph from the north, patchy cirrus covering the sky ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Jul 11 16:14:24 GMT 2014 Testing a new copy to mlsoserver feature in Kcor. The goal is to make the call to copy file to mlsoserver asynchronouslly called so that if we get a hiccup where kcor doesn't see its connection to mlsoserver for a period of time it won't crash the observing program. ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Jul 11 16:36:54 GMT 2014 Did a test this morning and found that if I disconnect the z:\ drive from within windows kcor observing program doesn't hang or slow down which is good. But it doens't seem to cache a list of copies to perform later. I guess this is to be expected a copy to a non-existant location should fail and send an error back to labview which is handled/ignored by the way I do the async call. I think this was an inconclusive test, more testing to come if/when it gets cloudy and I come up with a better way to slow the connection with out breaking it. For now the async call is disabled and we are doing normal copies. ___end___ Fri Jul 11 16:58:11 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol Fri Jul 11 16:58:17 GMT 2014: PSPT Start Patrol Fri Jul 11 17:23:01 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Fri Jul 11 21:11:51 GMT 2014: PSPT Start Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Jul 11 22:32:17 GMT 2014 Tried another test to simulate loss of network connnection (ethernet cable was unplugged from kcor for ~1minute). In this case labview seemed to either crash or loose connection with socketcam. But both had to be killed before I could continue. It appears async copies may not solve the problem I wanted them to solve. VI's have been reverted to run the old synchronous copy code. ___end___ Fri Jul 11 22:42:58 GMT 2014: PSPT Abort Patrol Fri Jul 11 22:43:02 GMT 2014: PSPT Abort Patrol
