Got the Exception code 130, 132, 197 again. Had to do a full reboot for it to come back. Then for some reason, Kcor wasn't seeing the internet and unable to communicate with SGS. Rebooted the KCor computer after Ben checked the wires and tried to ping the ip address. For some reason it cleared the glitch. Sky looks a little bright but we are up and running now. ___end___ Wed Jan 31 18:36:38 GMT 2018 KCOR End Patrol Wed Jan 31 18:50:38 GMT 2018 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Jan 31 18:50:39 GMT 2018 KCOR End Patrol Wed Jan 31 18:50:39 GMT 2018 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20171025.ini GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Wed Jan 31 18:52:17 GMT 2018 Paused Kcor to address multiple bullet holes.
