Filter wheel was remove to install the new filter. In trying to install it I found that the new filter is 50.5mm while the filter hole is 50.14mm :( While the filter wheel was open I found some dust on all the filters, an attemp was made to blow the dust off but some still remians on the filters. I have also discovered that filter wheel position 7 is clear and now 4.0ND as reported in software.

It has been kind of repaired with some tape but it should be replaced soon. ___end___ GONG COMMENT BY berkey: Tue Jun 28 01:46:31 GMT 2016 Replaced a fues and 2 hard drives in the gong shelter per request from Gong_ops ___end___ CoMP COMMENT BY berkey: Tue Jun 28 01:52:17 GMT 2016 Forked the CoMP code and started testing some data handling ideas that we might apply once UCoMP is deployed. The new code uses come queues to push data around memory vs writing it to disk. I think this should end up with better control over the execution time of the recipes which should in turn help the waves programs. More testing is needed. NOTE no data was taken today, dome was never opened. FTS files that were written to disk have been deleted becasue they were in funky modes. ___end___
