VERY LONG BASELINE ARRAY OBSERVING LOG -------------------------------------- Project: BL137K Observer: Lister, M. Project type: VLBA Obs filename: bl137kcrd.* Date/Day: 2006NOV10/314 Ants Scheduled: SC HN NL FD LA PT KP OV BR MK =UT-Time===Comment===============================================MF#===%AD==AMD= 0355 Begin file VCLOCK check ok. SC at -0.181 UT1-UTC check ok (0.09) GPS delta < 10 us Operator: T. Perreault 0355-0405 *LA file not running. File was not sent out to sites HUERR 100 10 although the operators questionnaire was checked off that files were sent. When I sent the files out, LA's VME hung up and is not accepting RCMDs. Did a sensaphone reboot of the station computer. Also had to send observ.tx to BR in order to get observing started there. 0402 LA: observe file on the VME was shorter than what it should be. Was able to get the file sent out to the station VME without any problems. Issued a reboot command so that the correctly uploaded file will run. 0640 Operator is A. Sowinski. 0725-0727 *SC Rotation motor foldback fault. FRM 100 2 1001-1002 *SC Rotation motor foldback fault. FRM 100 1 1011-1013 *SC Rotation motor foldback fault. FRM 100 2 1248-1250 *PT Antenna autostowed, repointed. ACU 100 2 1445 New operators are Heidi Gerhardt and Paul Padilla 1531-1533 *NL Antenna autostowed due to power glitch COM 100 2 1534 *BR Rain at Brewster 1542 *NL precipitation starting 1943-1946 *NL autostowed, power glitch COM 100 3 2234 New operator is Jim Ogle. 2147-2245 %PT formatter FIFO errors on board 2; data should not be affected since we aren't using board 2 but I reconfigured the formatter to clear the errors anyway. 2315-2317 *SC rotation motion analysis fault. FRM 100 2 2324-2325 *SC rotation motion analysis fault. FRM 100 1 2324-2325 *HN rotation position error. FRM 100 1 0000 Date is 2006NOV11/315. 0026-0027 *BR rotation position error.

Downtime Summary: Total downtime : 28 min Percentage downtime of observing: 0.2% Average downtime per hour : 0.1 min Total scheduled observing time (# Antennas): 14410 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.
