For the short term the ESP3000 is powered down, and labview has been reconfigured to avoid calls to it. Currently we only use it for the calpol rotation so there should be no effect on normal operations. We will have to address getting the ESP3000 back online before our next Calpol test. ___end___ Fri Oct 13 17:21:46 GMT 2017 SGS Alignment complete Fri Oct 13 18:33:51 GMT 2017 SGS Alignment complete Fri Oct 13 18:34:43 GMT 2017 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Fri Oct 13 18:34:18 GMT 2017 CoMP occulter has been re-centered Fri Oct 13 18:37:28 GMT 2017 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: synoptic-00010.cbk Fri Oct 13 18:48:58 GMT 2017 CoMP Paused for clouds Fri Oct 13 18:51:56 GMT 2017 CoMP Restarted from pause Fri Oct 13 19:00:29 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Fri Oct 13 19:02:54 GMT 2017 KCOR End Patrol Fri Oct 13 19:03:43 GMT 2017 CoMP Paused for clouds GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Sat Oct 14 01:52:39 GMT 2017 Spent a bit of time trying to sort out the logger issue. Looks like this is a windows 7 issue, still not clear what changed such that we see it. We are still running with the disconnect/reconnect kludge, but I changed the way the logger startsup to only pop up one command window instead of poping up a few every copule seconds. Software still feels sluggish with this kludge, but it is functional. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Sat Oct 14 01:53:22 GMT 2017 Got cloudy at about 19:00ut things no rain or fog but almost everything else.. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Sat Oct 14 01:53:27 GMT 2017 ___end___
