But according to the windows performance tool; it looks like the file copy is going about 10x slower than the we are saving the m locally. Overall the network writes are using just under 80MB/s. I think this is close to the expected speed for 1Gb/s network connection between the kcor2 machine and the switch. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Tue Sep 08 18:14:05 GMT 2020 Reverting to the normal socketcam code. ___end___ Tue Sep 08 18:14:25 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol ****Possible CME in Progress berkey**** : Tue Sep 08 19:13:38 GMT 2020 Possible CME seen launching near PA:240 before sunrise at MLSO.
