wapp.20080129.a2048.0000 Scan: TOGS calibration, WAPP problems on beams 4, 5, 6. GALSPECT seems okay. wapp.20080129.a2048.0001 Scan: AGES3193_p1_101, Aborted - WAPP failed to come good on restart wapp.20080129.a2048.0003 Scan: AGES3193_p1_103, WAPPs now working - thanks Mikael! 05:26 UT - Beem 0B went bad (a bit over half way through the scan). Alarm for 0B amps went off 3 minutes later. wapp.20080129.a2048.0004 Scan: AGES3193_p1_105, Finally, a scan where nothing happened (except for 0B continuing to wobble) wapp.20080129.a2048.0005 Scan: AGES3193_p1_107, wapp.20080129.a2048.0006 Scan: AGES3193_p1_109, wapp.20080129.a2048.0007 Scan: AGES3193_p1_111, wapp.20080129.a2048.0008 Scan: AGESVC1A_p1_041, 6.5 min drive - made it! wapp.20080129.a2048.0009 Scan: AGESVC1A_p1_043, wapp.20080129.a2048.0010 Scan: AGESVC1A_p1_045, wapp.20080129.a2048.0011 Scan: AGESVC1A_p1_047, wapp.20080129.a2048.0012 Scan: AGESVC1A_p1_049, wapp.20080129.a2048.0013 Scan: AGESVC1B_p1_041, First 3s (!) not on source wapp.20080129.a2048.0014 Scan: AGESVC2_58, Follow-up with LBW wapp.20080129.a2048.0015 Scan: AGESVC2_59, |
WAPP problems at start. The WAPPs got into single-board mode. The configuration had to be re-applied. They then crashed on a short 'run correlator'. After re-applying the configuration again they seem okay. |

During TOGS calibration scan, received an error "timed out waiting for ALFA rotation" despite ALFA being at required 19 degrees. TO investigated and ALFA can only be rotated anticlockwise. Problem was a loose cable, fixed with tape. First 2 hours lost. And beam OB is back down, just for good measure. |

Beam 0B continues to be an unpredictable yo-yo of mystery. "Timed out while waiting for ALFA rotation error" at start of scan 5. Re-ran the scan successfully. 0007-0009 had WAPP error "counts don't match between chip 0 and chip 10". TO informed that error not critical, aborted and resumed on next scan. |

wapp.20080214.a2048.0000 Scan: AGES3193_p1_157, Mikael's new conditional 'LSTSLEW' seems to be working. 0B okay at start of scan wapp.20080214.a2048.0001 Scan: AGES3193_p1_159, wapp.20080214.a2048.0002 Scan: AGESVC1A_p1_042, wapp.20080214.a2048.0003 Scan: AGESVC1A_p1_044, wapp.20080214.a2048.0004 Scan: AGESVC1A_p1_046, wapp.20080214.a2048.0005 Scan: AGESVC1A_p1_048, wapp.20080214.a2048.0006 Scan: AGESVC1A_p1_050, wapp.20080214.a2048.0007 Scan: TOGS Calibration, |
WAPP1 gave problems when WAPPS were restarted before observing, but re-restarted itself successfully. Transition from VC1A from VC1B was too tight so the conditional statement jumped the last scan. This needs to be given slightly more time. |

Everything looked pretty nominal until about 20:30 at start of what would have been new scan. Received errors saying "failed configuration" problem with setcal, etc. Tried restarting wapps, restarting cima, but errors continued. Mikael did some troubleshooting. There was a problem with the correlator. After he restarted it, we restarted cima again and were able to observing after losing about 70 min. Sources after break reported being off source for a few seconds at start of scans. |

Overall, smooth run. Problems at the start with the ALFA on-line display. Another version was still running. Problem solved before the start of AGES obs. At the start of the first AGES scan, got Warning: failed to get a response from the CIMA fronted when checking options for 'fixed azimuth drift map', even if the window was already active. However, it should not be a problem and I have double checked all the parameters. For each scan, got Warning: there are WAPP channels with too much power during the ON calibration at the beginning of the scan. FAA 1350 MHz radar seems to be off or, at least, extremely weak.

Significant problems only for the last scan: AGESVC1B_p1_079, first 13sec not on source! At the start of the first AGES scan, got againWarning: failed to get a response from the CIMA fronted when checking options for 'fixed azimuth drift map'. This time the window wasn't already open, but the warning is instantaneous (~1 sec!) and there is no time to place the window. Anyway, it should not be a problem and I have double checked all the parameters. Duplicate AGC warnings for a few scans. AGESVC1A_p3_077 & AGESVC1B_p1_079. Warning WAPP=4: counts don't match. Data appear ok and TO says it is usually a false allarm (as also suggested in previous AGES logs). So I completed the scans.

Everything fine, until the start of scan AGESVC1A_p3_056 when I started to get hundreds of warningsWAPP4 counts to not match (one every second). Since warnings didn't stop, I tried to abort the scan, restart WAPPS and restart the obs. However problem remained. TO contacted Mikeal who informed that as long as the difference between counts is small (e.g. 2 in my case) the data are ok, even if a new warning appears every second. If the difference starts to increase (e.g. ~1000) then data are not usable. Moreover he explained that, in this case, restart WAPP does not help because it is a software boot whereas the problem is hardware related. AGESVC1A_p3_056 needs to be re-observed. AGESVC1B_p1_042 first 8 seconds not on source! Duplicate AGC warnings in some scans. For all scans, WAPP too much power warning during the calibration at the beginning of the scan. At the beginning of the first AGES scan got Warning: failed to get a response from the CIMA fronted when checking options for 'fixed azimuth drift map'. RFI @1340MHz |

Just like being in Arecibo, but without the coquis or overpowered air conditioning.... The FAA radar seems off or at least much weaker. For all scans, got a too much power warning during calibration. |

Lost internet connectivity 10s into first scan. TO reports no power failure, so someone must have kidnapped the internet. TO noted that command file still running. TO informed to keep an eye on things and shut down when observing file is complete. Meanwhile I'll try and reconnect.... reconnection after half an hour. Everything ticking along nicely. VNC is really rather useful you know. Strongest continuum source in the region is 4C +15.77, but this is only 330 mJy at 1.4 GHz. Could this be the strong source causing the power warnings?

Only beams 1 and 6 are showing spectra in the data view window! I had a problem with TOGS, said failed. Thought I would go to AGES waited ages and then this failed (ALFA rotation timed out). My window also hung so phoned operator and he said the ALFA rotation motor was switched off from the previous obs - he switched it back on again!! Started AGES late and so missed the first scan. Hope I am OK for the second. Try and do TOGS at the end. Beam 2 sort of came back half-way through the run. For some reason it skipped the p3_094 scan - it said 'skipping line 'FIXEDDRIFT.....' Did it get there too late? Then waited 19min for next drift. |

ALFA down, so time used for follow-up with L-wide. First time I use WAPPs with L-wide, so I had to figure out how to look at the data on-line since 'cormonall' seems not to work with WAPPs. Almost all sources near the FAA radar, so for great part of the run I decided to use the Radar Blanker, which seems to have worked properly. Baseline changed quite a lot during the run (showing sometimes very weird features), but overall the vast majority of the data are usable. |

skipped p2_137; Observing started but the vncserver froze - i have no idea what is going on. The telescope operator phone was busy, the guard did not know the other number to the control room. After awhile I tracked down the correct number and finally reached the operator. Dataview computer is frozen.... Phil put in a new ethernet card and it all works again. Got restarted around 7pm.

Smooth run. Got new type of warning for most of the scans:"Warning extrapolating pnt-data over 2 seconds time gap." Noticed that the beam's intensity sometimes goes down to zero for just 1 sec and then turns back to normal. Contacted TO+Mikeal who said that if CIMA does not give warnings it is probably only a network problem. |

First scan missed by 3 minutes - not enough time to accommodate slew time and TOGS cal. We're getting 'observing when not on source' messages every scan. It's only a beam's width of sky, but I it bet scares the willies out of new observers. Any chance we can sort them out? |

Couldn't do 33PP scan as telescope lost ability to change Azimuth (occured at end of 7448_p3_138). Strong 1350 Radar and small 1340 MHz spike present on most scans, 4B still showing low on GALSPECT but fine on ALFA Data window.

Complications due to scheduling. Running TOGS too early meant that it was chasing the NGC7448 sources, not the 33PP sources. So it was waiting for NGC7448 to rise again. Got the TO to send the telescope to the start position for TOGS and ran the galfacurpos script, but unfortunately the script waited to get on source and wouldn't continue. By the time I noticed and skipped the tracking command, it ended up overrunning the start time for our obs. I think we need to revise the script for these two fields (7448 and 33PP). Matt apparently had similar problems. | |

Could not ssh into dataview. At operators suggestion, ran /home/cimca/bin/clear_cima to clear things out and then there was no problem. Due to delay, I did not run the galfa script. |

No log form written ask Steve for comments. Looks like many power warnings (maybe one of the polarisations was down?). Looking at data, there appears to have been problems with 1b but otherwise ok. |
