It seems to have bound and I am currently unable to get the occulter stage moving past 126 degrees of a turn in either direction. Keeping UCoMP offline as it is unsafe to use the instrument without causing further damage. ___end___ Fri Jan 28 19:20:56 GMT 2022 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Fri Jan 28 22:20:22 GMT 2022 KCOR End Patrol Fri Jan 28 22:20:26 GMT 2022 KCOR End Patrol Fri Jan 28 22:27:11 GMT 2022 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY lisapg: Fri Jan 28 22:28:00 GMT 2022 Kcor paused to remove UCoMP occulter motor by Ben. ___end___ Fri Jan 28 22:52:33 GMT 2022 KCOR End Patrol Fri Jan 28 23:20:23 GMT 2022 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Fri Jan 28 23:23:17 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook dark_80ms_2beam_16sums_BOTH.cbk line 0 Fri Jan 28 23:24:30 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelenght_coronal_flat.cbk line 0 UCoMP COMMENT BY mlso: Fri Jan 28 23:26:24 GMT 2022 UCoMP Occulter Y linear stage did not have enough range of travel to align to the sun. Troubleshooting found that when I removed and reinstalled the Occ-Y stage yesterday I failed to put it back in an M5 lock washer, this lets one of the screws that held the stage to the fixed tower make contact with the moving section of the stage ~15.5mm into the range which left the occulter just a little high of blocking the sun. Removing this bolt and reinstalling it with the appropriate lock washer now allows a regular range of motion and we can properly align the occulter. ___end___ Fri Jan 28 23:42:58 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelenght_coronal.cbk line 0 Sat Jan 29 00:37:08 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelenght_coronal.cbk line 27 Sat Jan 29 00:55:40 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook no-occulter-flat.cbk line 0 Sat Jan 29 01:02:13 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook dark_80ms_2beam_16sums_BOTH.cbk line 0 Sat Jan 29 01:03:30 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 637_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Sat Jan 29 01:07:52 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 656_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Sat Jan 29 01:11:55 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 789_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Sat Jan 29 01:15:59 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 1074_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Sat Jan 29 01:16:10 GMT 2022 KCOR End Patrol Sat Jan 29 01:16:11 GMT 2022 KCOR End Patrol Sat Jan 29 01:16:13 GMT 2022 UCoMP Paused for clouds GENERAL COMMENT BY lisapg: Sat Jan 29 01:16:53 GMT 2022 Clouds coming in from the West, instruments idled for now. ___end___ Sat Jan 29 01:21:15 GMT 2022 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Sat Jan 29 01:21:14 GMT 2022 UCoMP Restarted from pause Sat Jan 29 01:25:01 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 1079_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Sat Jan 29 01:29:04 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook waves_1074_1hour.cbk line 0 Sat Jan 29 02:38:48 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook dark_200_1sums_80ms.cbk line 0 Sat Jan 29 02:43:48 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook no-occulter-flat.cbk line 0 Sat Jan 29 02:50:20 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelenght_coronal_flat.cbk line 0 Sat Jan 29 02:53:41 GMT 2022 KCOR End Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY lisapg: Sat Jan 29 02:58:05 GMT 2022 Besides a few clouds, it was a nice day to take data. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: berkey, lisapg
