LCP data affected. 0000 Date is 2003DEC19/353. 0008 Readback check ok 0028-0752 *SC subreflector out of position in ROTATION at 1cm 13057 13 57 position (303.7). Drifts off by 2 counts then gets a ROTATION MOTION ANALYSIS FAULT condition. At the subsequent frequency change (1cm to 6cm) the subreflector fails to move. Have to do a MASTER CLEAR reset and reload the observation scan before the subreflector will move in both FOCUS and ROTATION. Subreflector sets up fine in all other frequencies. The problem is happening when going from 13cm to 1cm. The 4cm to 1cm scans are fine, subreflector sets up and locks in ROTATION. 0107 Readback check ok 0122 Readback check ok 0220 Readback check ok 0241 Readback check ok 0313 Readback check ok 0329 *SC bad readback drive 2 tracks 26,30; all other sites ok 0403 Readback check ok 0423 Readback check ok 0454 Readback check ok 0515 Readback check ok 0613 *MK bad readback drive 2 tracks 32,33; 13059 all other sites ok 0633 *MK bad readback drive 2 track 33; 13059 all other sites ok 0639 New operator is Jim Ogle. 0646 *MK bad readbacks on track 33.

Downtime Summary: Total downtime : 85 min Percentage downtime of observing: 1.8% Average downtime per hour : 1.1 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.
