VERY LONG BASELINE ARRAY OBSERVING LOG -------------------------------------- Project: BL105G Observer: Lobanov, A. Project type: VLBA Obs filename: bl105gcrd.* Date/Day: 2004APR08/099 Ants Scheduled: SC HN NL FD LA PT KP OV BR MK =UT-Time===Comment===============================================MF#===%AD==AMD= Operator is Cyrus M Reed. VCLOCK and GPS DELTA OK. UT1-UTC OK (-0.45). WEA: Cloud cover via webcam unavailable; WEA: Night at all sites. WEA: Precipitation at LA - other sites dry. 0704 Begin observing. All antennas on source. 0704-1236 %FD SYN2 500MHz reference is flaging as out of 13766 range at 6.32. Data appears unaffected. 0704-1503 %FD ACU is flaging, though there is nothing wrong. 13746 The cause is most likely due to MCB errors arising from the bypass of the failed pedestal room UPS. 0704-1503 *PT TSMPLOTs show that virtually all records ACU 100 479 for this antenna are flagged bad due to a EL tracking error of up 50 seconds of arc. 0744 *LA bad readback: Drive 2, Track 02. *FD bad readback: Drive 1, Track 04. All other readbacks OK. 0748-0750 *LA dropped out of point due to power failure. COM 100 2 Repointed. 0753 %LA wea: raining 0851 All readbacks OK. 1003-1004 *PT dropped out of point due to power failure. COM 100 1 Repointed. 1046 *LA bad readback: Drive 2, Track 02. All other readbacks OK. 1035-1228 %HN communication down. Using mike modem - traceroute shows traffic reaching site, but not VME. 1127 *LA bad readbacks: Drive 2, Tracks 02,22. All other readbacks OK. 1333 New operator: T. Perreault 1341 BR wea: clear, no precipitation 1411 Readback check ok 1421 PT site tech called, informed him about the 50" of arc tracking error in EL. 1443 SC observing ends 1447 KP wea: clear, no precipitation 1503 End. Downtime Summary: Total downtime : 482 min Percentage downtime of observing: 10.1% Average downtime per hour : 6.0 min Total scheduled observing time (# Antennas): 4790 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.
