So now it should be stiff enough to handle wind+kcor foreoptics moves but when the RA slip it is the clutch that slips not the friction drive. It also appears that there is no play/slipage when slewing for +10 to -10V in RA. ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Mon Nov 25 21:32:58 GMT 2019 Swaped camera and NI boards boards from kcor to kcor2. To test newly recompied socketcam ___end___ Tue Nov 26 00:07:04 GMT 2019 Kcor2 state logger test. Tue Nov 26 00:07:52 GMT 2019 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Tue Nov 26 01:26:54 GMT 2019 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Tue Nov 26 01:31:05 GMT 2019 Kcor2 testing today got just about everyting working. Socketcam was compiled and built on the new system with new libraries and seems to work. Looks like the old and new computers have different ideas about which bitflow cameralink board should be labed 0 vs 1 so we probally have to flip the cameralink cables from extender A to what we had labed as boardB. And ExtenderB to BoardA. if this turns out to be the case long term I thnk we should just relabed the boards. Boards reverted back to the old computer for now pending more testing (ideally with some corona). System seems to check out on the old computer I can move the stages and talk to the cameras. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: berkey
