Have tried shutting down the .vi and restarting but that doesn't seem to help. Tried restarting the computer but that didn't seem to work either. Will troubleshoot more a bit later but for now, taking data as is. ___end___ Wed Oct 18 23:13:44 GMT 2017 COMP End Patrol Wed Oct 18 23:18:29 GMT 2017 CoMP occulter has been re-centered Wed Oct 18 23:28:08 GMT 2017 KCOR End Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Wed Oct 18 23:30:18 GMT 2017 Currently trying to trouble shoot CoMP.

On commanding a move to get the diffuser out of the beam (MA N1) in the SEM Termimal I get an error 86 Stall detected. Which to me seems to be a motor issue. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Oct 19 04:10:13 GMT 2017 Gave a former NCAR current Lasp employee (+ 2 guests) a tour this afternoon. ___end___
