Some actvity seen in Ha but it is less obvious than I would have expected.

Everything I tried failed and I could never talk to the device. But while I was crawling around under the table I bumped power button to the ups bring down the instrumnet for about 15 minutes, which actually seemed to fix the problem. ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Feb 28 01:55:45 GMT 2019 Stopping observing to test some changes to obsswid keyword ___end___ **KCOR PROBLEM COMMENT BY berkey** : Thu Feb 28 02:06:57 GMT 2019 OBSSWID now uses fits compliant dashs - instead of slashes / in its date format. We now also pick up the socketcam.exe modifiied date on every labview start up. Previously we only checked if socketcam wasn't running which lead to some 1.0.6's getting into the headers if labview was restarted but socketcam wasn't when we saw the bad modulation sequences. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: berkey
