VERY LONG BASELINE ARRAY OBSERVING LOG -------------------------------------- Project: BA068C Observer: Y. Asaki Project type: VLBA Obs filename: ba068ccrd.* Date/Day: 2004APR03/094 Ants Scheduled: SC HN NL FD LA PT KP OV BR MK =UT-Time===Comment===============================================MF#===%AD==AMD= Operator is Paul Dyer. VCLOCK and UT1-UTC check ok. PT GPS Delta is bad, but the antenna is unuseable due to commercial power outage. All other stations are ok. 1722 Begin. *LA WEA: Raining. 1722-2026 *PT Antenna is unuseable due to commercial COM 100 184 power outage. 1722 *KP WEA: Antenna has 1/4" ice on 90% of the surface. Temperature is above freezing, so it is improving quickly. 1733 PT Antenna is on source and writing tape, but there are clock errors. Kelly is working on it. GPS Delta is 0.0999998000. 1756-1815 *PT Tape not moving. Power glitch. Antenna has autostowed. 1816-1817 *KP EL #2 armature overcurrent. I disabled ACU 100 1 the EL axis for a couple seconds to clear the fault. 1815 PT back on source and writing tape, but GPS Delta is still off. 1818-1820 *PT Autostowed. Power glitch. 1825 MK WEA: Site tech reports scattered cumulus clouds. 1833-1836 *PT Autostowed. Power glitch. 1843-1845 *PT Autostowed. Power glitch. 1853-1857 *PT Autostowed. Power glitch. 1908-1912 *Autostowed. Power glitch. 1913-1956 *PT Auotstowed. Power glitch. Unclearable EL #1 armature overcurrent. Kelly will check on it but is working on the timing problem right now. 1933 All readbacks ok. 2026 PT Timeing fixed. 2028 *NL WEA: Wind gusts > 35mph. 2116 All readbacks ok. 2157-2158 *PT Armature overcurrent AZ #1 and #2 COM 100 1 and EL #1. I disabled the axis to clear the faults. 2241 *PT WEA: Raining. 2341-2345 *PT Autostowed. Power glitch. COM 100 4 2353 All readbacks ok. 0000 Date is 2004APR04/095. 0005-0021 *PT Major power hit. WEA 100 16 Both tape drive have lost vacuum. Antenna has autostowed. UPS battery alarm. I can not reload either drive. Will call site tech. 0021 End. Downtime Summary: Total downtime : 206 min Percentage downtime of observing: 4.9% Average downtime per hour : 2.9 min Total scheduled observing time (# Antennas): 4190 min (10) Notes: * = Entries where data was affected. % = Entries where data may have been affected. & = Entries where the site tech was called out. WEA = Weather entries. MF# = Maintenance form or major downtime category associated with a problem. %AD = The percentage of an antenna affected by a problem. AMD = Total antenna-minutes downtime for a problem. Tsys = System Temperature (TP/SP x Tcal/2) ACU = Antenna Control Unit FRM = Focus/Rotation Mount RFI = Radio Frequency Interference VME = Site control computer CB = Circuit Breaker vclock = Program that compares site clock time to a standard.
