Vclock, GPS delta and UT1-UTC time checks all ok. %MK WEA: Was snowing earlier at site, snow is most likely present in the dish. SC WEA: Gusty winds. 1057 Begin observation. 1057-1228 %FD Plenum temp (Rm 103) temps are varying by as much as 7 degrees C (varying very regularly). Equipment rack temps are going up and down accordingly, could cause phase jumps/problems. 1105 Readbacks ok. 1121 Readbacks ok. 1129-1140 *HN FRM out of position (rotation drive fault). Reset 17561 100 11 but continued intermittant rotation drive faults. Won't lock into position in rotation (drifting) on 2cm scans. 1137 Readbacks ok. 1153 Readbacks ok. 1155-1201 *HN FRM Rotation drive faults, can't clear. 17561 100 6 So far seen during 2cm and 7mm scans. 1202 Readbacks ok. 1217 SC leaves observation. 1218 Readbacks ok. 1218-1220 *HN FRM Rotation drive faults, can't clear. 17561 100 2 1228 End. Downtime Summary: Total downtime : 19 min Percentage downtime of observing: 2.1% Average downtime per hour : 1.3 min Total scheduled observing time (# Antennas): 910 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.
