Followed by other errors: Error 8601 occurred at Photonforcus_Toolkit.lvlib:pf_Get_Error_msg.vi:190039 This error code is undefined. Undefined errors might occur for a number of reasons. For example, no one has provided a description for the code. or you might have wired a number that is not an error code to the error code input. Additionally, undefined error codes might occur because the error relates to a third-party object, such as the operating system or ActiveX. For these third-party errors, you might be able to obtain a description of the error by searching the Web for the error code (8601) or for its hexadecimal representation(0x00002199) Error 1 occurred at the Dequeue Element in Focus-median image.vi Possible reasons: LABVIEW An input parameter is invalid. For example if the input is a path, the path might contain a character not alliwed by the OS such as ? or @ An error has occurred in the current application Source file: BFBrdUsr.c Line-Number 1139 Error Code 4292 Error Text Board lready opened in this process ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY lisapg: Wed Aug 05 18:44:39 GMT 2026 Since the first error was concerned with the Photon Focus, first thing to check is the KCor camera. As it turns out, camera 1 power and the shutter was off upstairs in the NEMA box. Turning them back on got things back up and running with no errors. ___end___ Weather COMMENT BY lisapg: Wed Aug 05 18:45:07 GMT 2026 MLO Current Weather Skies: Sky is too bright to take data at present ___end___ Wed Aug 05 18:56:01 GMT 2026 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Wed Aug 05 18:57:18 GMT 2026 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY KCOR: Wed Aug 05 20:22:10 GMT 2026 KCOR file transfer report KCor created 326 .bin files 325 .fts files NOTICE ? 1 .bin file(s) with no matching .fts: 20260805_201908_kcor.bin Remote site is complete ? no rsync required. ___end___ Weather COMMENT BY lisapg: Wed Aug 05 21:33:56 GMT 2026 MLO Current Weather Timestamp (UTC): 2026-08-05 21:29:00 Temperature : 53.04 deg F Dew Point : 44.89 deg F Pressure : 681.9 mbar Wind Speed : 9.84 mph Wind Direction : 3.9 deg Skies: Orographic clouds covering the entire sky at present ___end___ ** KCOR PM berkey ** : Wed Aug 05 21:34:04 GMT 2026 Washed Kcor O1 ___end___ ** KCOR PM ** : Thu Aug 06 02:45:58 GMT 2026 Washed Kcor O1 had difficulity removing some of the haze on the O1 front. We decided to switch over to first contact to try and address this. During this work clouds rolled in and we got very low of battery power shutting thing down. We will peel the first contact in the morning and hopefully get on sky relativly quickly if that goes well. ___end___ Logger COMMENT BY : Thu Aug 06 02:46:35 GMT 2026 Log closed ONSITE STAFF: berkey, lisapg ___end___
