The CoMP waves recipe 1074_QU_3_250ms_2beam was changed to get a diffent order of wavelenghts into the fits file. ___end___ Wed Jul 23 17:46:47 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol Wed Jul 23 17:53:40 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Jul 23 18:06:23 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol Wed Jul 23 18:30:40 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Jul 23 18:36:01 GMT 2014: PSPT Start Patrol Wed Jul 23 18:36:17 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol Wed Jul 23 18:36:17 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg.ini Wed Jul 23 18:52:20 GMT 2014 KCOR End Calibration Script Wed Jul 23 18:52:36 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Jul 23 18:52:36 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Jul 23 20:20:33 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol Wed Jul 23 20:20:51 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Jul 23 20:26:52 GMT 2014 Adjusted shutter. ___end___ Wed Jul 23 20:29:36 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol Wed Jul 23 20:32:23 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Jul 23 22:23:51 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol CoMP COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Jul 23 22:24:31 GMT 2014 Updaing waves recpie to be even better. ___end___ Wed Jul 23 22:25:31 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol CoMP COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Jul 23 22:26:04 GMT 2014 Mondays change make the waves go faster. Todays is a tweak to ramp up then ramp down in wavelenghts (blue center red, red center blue). To avoid possible crosstalk between observations. ___end___ Wed Jul 23 22:28:22 GMT 2014: PSPT Start Patrol Wed Jul 23 22:43:02 GMT 2014: PSPT Start Patrol Wed Jul 23 23:38:02 GMT 2014: PSPT Start Patrol PSPT COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Jul 23 23:44:25 GMT 2014 Pspt crashed, with a serial read error on the dos machine about 1/2 an hour ago. Finally got it running after rebooting both sun and PC side. Things seem to be humming along now. ___end___ **CoMP PROBLEM COMMENT BY berkey **: Thu Jul 24 00:26:25 GMT 2014 Comp got a serial read error for the D3040. ___end___ Thu Jul 24 01:23:56 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol Thu Jul 24 01:23:51 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Thu Jul 24 01:26:59 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol Thu Jul 24 01:29:46 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Thu Jul 24 02:30:39 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Jul 24 02:30:25 GMT 2014 Tried to blow off the field lens to get rid of the large artifact in west of the image just under 1 solar radii out. I didnt see any big feature on the lens but I did see a couple smaller dust specs that I was able to blow away. ___end___ Thu Jul 24 02:37:28 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Thu Jul 24 02:39:20 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol Thu Jul 24 02:44:58 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Jul 24 02:45:58 GMT 2014 Blowing off the field lens didnt work. Perhaps these are blobs on the O1. ___end___ Thu Jul 24 02:51:36 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol CoMP COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Jul 24 02:49:18 GMT 2014 Comp lost communication with the D3040 again. Seems like observing program just keeps chugging along after the error is acknowledged. But I just noticed the meadowlark leds are not blinking (first time I specificly looked today). So we may not have wavelenght/polarization changes in some/all of todays data. Restarting comp VI. ___end___ Thu Jul 24 02:52:35 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol Thu Jul 24 02:57:55 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Thu Jul 24 03:04:41 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol CoMP COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Jul 24 03:05:18 GMT 2014 Had to reboot to get the blinkly lights back. Not sure what casued the communication to fail. ___end___ Thu Jul 24 03:45:01 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol Thu Jul 24 03:45:21 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Thu Jul 24 04:01:36 GMT 2014: PSPT Abort Patrol Thu Jul 24 04:01:47 GMT 2014: PSPT Abort Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Jul 24 04:06:21 GMT 2014 Pulled Kcor O1 found a few bigger peices of dust on the front side ofthe O1 that seem like they could be located in regions that seem consistant with the bullethole artifacts we saw in the data today. Both surfaces were blown off with the air. Hopefully we dont see the artifacts tomorrow. ___end___
