This keyword should have the value of in as long as the paper lyot stop is in the beam and I guess out or if/when we remove it. ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Tue Oct 18 00:34:20 GMT 2016 Images after 20161018_003156_kcor.fts should now have this keyword. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Tue Oct 18 00:40:18 GMT 2016 Code was added to kcor and comp to capture a log entry when exiting the kcor and comp manual centering routings. For Kcor this is focus.vi and Comp the manual center occutler vi. See tests below: ___end___ Tue Oct 18 00:40:30 GMT 2016 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Tue Oct 18 00:41:53 GMT 2016 CoMP occulter has been re-centered GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Tue Oct 18 00:47:53 GMT 2016 The above entries should appear automatically after the focus.vi exits or the comp center occulter exits. If for what ever reason (testing of something, in software, checking sky conditions w/o alignments etc) it is desired to run either of these programs with out producing a logging day log there is a button on the front of each of those guis which can be turned off to stop logging. Called "Send note to daylog". ___end___ GONG COMMENT BY berkey: Tue Oct 18 00:49:05 GMT 2016 Gong rack PDU replaced this morning. Packing materials for the new PDU have not been fully cleaned up yet as I am waiting on pdu status from Tim to know if we can/should pack the old one up and send it back. ___end___ GONG COMMENT BY berkey: Tue Oct 18 01:46:54 GMT 2016 Gong also sent out some coffee mugs for us. They are sitting in front of the microwave. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Tue Oct 18 01:54:41 GMT 2016 Brought up a fiber link from MLSO down to the Uchida building for our future network upgrades. Scot Colburn (NETS network guy) can see the IFA switch on the other sdie so I think we are all good up here. Curt Dobbs should be on the mountain some time next week to finish configuring the system. This configuring should have no effect on our "production" system and in the worst case may end up power cycling the wireless. ___end___
