VERY LONG BASELINE ARRAY OBSERVING LOG -------------------------------------- Project: BB218 Observer: Bietenholz, M. Project type: VLBA Obs filename: bb218crd.* Date/Day: 2006JAN02/002 Ants Scheduled: SC HN NL FD LA PT KP OV BR MK GB EB =UT-Time===Comment===============================================MF#===%AD==AMD= Operator is Anthony Sowinski. UT1-UTC correct, gps delta and vclock okay. HN recording on NRAO-099 in bank A. FD recording on NRAO-043 in bank A. LA recording on NRAO-155 in bank A. PT recording on VIPSK-15 in bank B. KP recording on NRAO-102 in bank A. BR recording on NRAO-158 in bank B. MK recording on NRAO-116 in bank B. 0937 Begin at all sites except MK. 0937 *OV WEA: Heavy rain (temp just above freezing). 0937-1730 *BR antenna too icy to observe. WEA 100 473 0942 Readbacks okay. 0946 Begin at MK. 1001 %NL WEA: Rain. 1004 Readbacks okay. 1051-1730 *OV Antenna stowed after extended high El motor WEA 100 399 current sums. System temperature were about 4x higher than normal so data may not have been good anyway. OV removed from observing. 1201 %NL WEA: Rain starting. 1304 Readbacks okay. 1441 HN recording on NRAO-039 in bank B. LA recording on VIPSK-11 in bank B. PT recording on VIPSK-05 in bank A. 1443 New operator is Jim Ogle. 1456 %Resetting PT formatter to clear FIFO errors; shouldn't affect Mk5 data. 1457 Readbacks at NL okay. SC just switched tape drives and hadn't written enough on the new tape to do a readback yet. 1621 KP now writing to Mk5 disc pack VIPSK-07 in bank B. 1640 Readbacks okay. 1730 End. Downtime Summary: Total downtime : 872 min Percentage downtime of observing: 18.4% Average downtime per hour : 11.1 min Total scheduled observing time (# Antennas): 4730 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.
