The computer lost track of its disk mount and couldn't write data. It looks like powercycling the box fixed the mount problem, but it lost its date again, so this had to be manually reset back to the current date. I am not sure what the underling issue was to cause the mount and date failures. ___end___ Mon Jul 27 17:13:47 GMT 2020 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Mon Jul 27 17:14:18 GMT 2020 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Mon Jul 27 18:22:11 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Mon Jul 27 18:39:07 GMT 2020 KCOR End Patrol Mon Jul 27 18:39:07 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20171025.ini Mon Jul 27 18:54:22 GMT 2020 KCOR End Calibration Script Mon Jul 27 18:54:38 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Mon Jul 27 18:54:38 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Mon Jul 27 20:34:49 GMT 2020 KCOR End Patrol Mon Jul 27 20:34:50 GMT 2020 KCOR End Patrol Mon Jul 27 20:36:47 GMT 2020 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Mon Jul 27 20:36:57 GMT 2020 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Mon Jul 27 20:44:06 GMT 2020 Looks like kcor modulator and and issue around the time we did the calibration. We see good coronal data before ~18:30UT but data were bad until 20:37Ut when the observing code was stopped and restarted. At this point we are not sure if the cals were taken in the bad state of this was triggrered after the cals finished. ___end___ Mon Jul 27 21:00:53 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20171025.ini Mon Jul 27 21:16:04 GMT 2020 KCOR End Calibration Script GPS COMMENT by MLSO: Mon Jul 27 21:45:08 GMT 2020 Successfully logged in to system Good disk mount GPS software running Last 5 GPS data files are: /mnt/usb/dataoutiq_2020_199_2149.bin 2147483647 /mnt/usb/dataoutiq_2020_200_2149.bin 2147483647 /mnt/usb/dataoutiq_2020_201_2145.bin 0 /mnt/usb/dataoutiq_2020_206_2352.bin 3228912 /mnt/usb/dataoutiq_2020_209_1651.bin 0 ___end___ Mon Jul 27 22:59:57 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Tue Jul 28 00:29:50 GMT 2020 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Tue Jul 28 00:33:09 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Tue Jul 28 02:43:51 GMT 2020 Clear blue skies and very bright all day long.
