He said that the problem is most 0937 likely due to the cold weather (current temperature is -16 C) and that any fix will have to wait until the temperature warms up a little bit. 0940 Readback check ok 0941-0942 *SC AZ#2 armature over current error condition ACU 100 1 cleared by momentarily disabling the AZ axis. 1049 Readback check ok 1212 Readback check ok 1318 NL site tech on site 1322 Readback check ok 1445 Phillip Hicks on duty Operator.
