----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Aug 1 16:39:17 GMT 2016 Year: 16 Doy: 214 Observer: berkey WEATHER COMMENT: berkey: Mon Aug 01 16:39:46 GMT 2016 Temp: 43.6f, Humidity: 45%, Pressure: 28.708in, Wind: 5mph from 189degs, Skies: clear. High inversion layer with vog almost up to the observatory ___end___ CoMP COMMENT BY berkey: Mon Aug 01 17:09:04 GMT 2016 This morning we will be testing out a new revsion to the CoMP observing code. This code changes the way data is handled internally within the labview program. Instead of using the disk for scratch space we now pass information around in queues. This change was movtivated by the desire to speed up internal image processing/saving so we could spend more waiting for the LCVR to relax. As a side effect it should allow faster processing and better cadance for things like the waves program. ___end___ Mon Aug 01 17:14:36 GMT 2016 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Mon Aug 01 17:26:29 GMT 2016 Running a new version of the kcor code that changes the way we capture/tag calibration images. In the old version we used timers to decide now many images to capture and when to change tags. The new version waits for socketcam to return instead. I also found a werd 1/2 second delay that I put in after each action in the calibration sequence (camera read and optics moves). This delay seems to serve no purpose so it has been commented out as well. This change alone should save 2.5minutes from the calibration seqeunce. ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Mon Aug 01 17:33:31 GMT 2016 Added a tempoary webcam near the occulting station to look up the telescope tube to see how light changes on the baffles over the course of the day. ___end___ Mon Aug 01 18:38:04 GMT 2016 KCOR End Patrol Mon Aug 01 18:38:18 GMT 2016 CoMP Paused for clouds Mon Aug 01 18:40:24 GMT 2016 SGS Alignment complete Mon Aug 01 18:40:27 GMT 2016 CoMP Restarted from pause Mon Aug 01 19:08:06 GMT 2016 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Mon Aug 01 19:08:19 GMT 2016 Kcor images should have been tagged as science scine 18:40 ___end___ Mon Aug 01 19:12:31 GMT 2016 KCOR End Patrol Mon Aug 01 19:12:32 GMT 2016 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20150323.ini Mon Aug 01 19:24:59 GMT 2016 KCOR End Calibration Script Mon Aug 01 19:25:16 GMT 2016 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Mon Aug 01 19:25:17 GMT 2016 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Mon Aug 01 21:39:11 GMT 2016 CoMP Paused for clouds Mon Aug 01 21:39:11 GMT 2016 KCOR End Patrol Tue Aug 02 00:13:59 GMT 2016 CoMP Restarted from pause KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Tue Aug 02 00:22:31 GMT 2016 Trying to revert kcor to the old code. I had a hiccup with svn, but I think I was able to get things reverted. Right now I am running a test with the dome closed to be sure things are working. ___end___ Tue Aug 02 00:37:33 GMT 2016 KCOR ABORT Calibration Script CoMP COMMENT BY berkey: Tue Aug 02 01:47:05 GMT 2016 Comp has been revereted to the old code. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Tue Aug 02 01:50:58 GMT 2016 Sneaking out before more works shows up. ___end___
