Put in the ND filter as per Bens' instructions and was able to get it centered on the Sun, with x(top #)= 61.8 and y (bottom #)= -29.91. Stopping and starting the UCoMP-contriller.vi kept the same values as above when centering the occulter, however, if I completely shut down Labview, the ocullter position for 'x' would default to 61 while the y position stayed at y (bottom #)= -29.91. We also checked the ini config folder and found that the occulter positions from all the current and perviously recorded x & y positions were the same; x= 61.0 and y= 11.50. Thanks to Ben, we were able to get things up and running for UComp again. ___end___ Sat Jul 24 19:24:57 GMT 2021 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_coronal_7_flats.ckb Sat Jul 24 19:28:34 GMT 2021 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_coronal_7.ckb Sat Jul 24 19:28:56 GMT 2021 KCOR End Patrol Sat Jul 24 19:28:57 GMT 2021 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20171025.ini Sat Jul 24 19:38:25 GMT 2021 UCoMP Paused for clouds Sat Jul 24 19:38:40 GMT 2021 KCOR ABORT Calibration Script Sat Jul 24 19:38:57 GMT 2021 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Sat Jul 24 19:38:57 GMT 2021 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Sat Jul 24 19:39:12 GMT 2021 KCOR End Patrol Sat Jul 24 19:39:13 GMT 2021 KCOR End Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY lisapg: Sat Jul 24 19:39:25 GMT 2021 Clouds came in fast during Kcor calibration.
