Summary: Tower pc enclosure replaced; installed reflective insulation; systems running smoothly.

18Jul01

-05:22 arrive Vaira

pc running but gillsonic.exe frozen

pc crashes at precise time pc208w attempts communication with the dataloggers

restore full permissions to all folders, files and users in win2K
administrative tools -

run gillsonic.exe with pc208 set to communicate to data loggers at 12:02

leave Vaira

11:45 arrive Tonzi site

tower pc running and collecting data

replace tower pc enclosure (3" fan)

install reflective insulation on floor pc enclosure

floor pc running and collecting data

leave site

1300 arrive Vaira

pc running but gillsonic.exe frozen at precise time of pc208w task setting

reinstall Windows 2K on pc and all associated programs, drivers, folders,
files, etc... - no help pc still crashes when pc208w tries to communicate
with data loggers

remove internal batteries from 23x at vaira down to 6 volts - data logger
power switch in off position so these batteries were not being used or
charged - running directly off solar/battery arrays

cr10x also running directly off solar/battery arrays

gillsonic continues to crash due to pc208w

use windows Administrative Tools and Device Manager to access Interrupt
Request parameters for com ports 1 & 3

com 1 IRQ=4
com 3 IRQ=4

this was the problem change to

com 1 IRQ=4
com 3 IRQ=7

- 14:23 reboot pc and start pc208 and gillsonic.exe - OK pc208 no longer
crashing gillsonic program

IT APPEARS THAT THE IOSOCKET PCMCIA CARDS SOFTWARE DRIVER DOES NOT ALWAYS
INSTALL THE CORRECT INTERRUPT REQUEST PARAMETERS IN WINDOWS 2K--- USING THE
SAME IRQ FOR 2 DIFFERENT COM PORTS IS A CONFLICT

Also: upon switching laptops at a site the pcmcia IOSOCKET card IRQ
parameters may have to be changed to specific values for different cards

leave site

- 14:45 arrive Tonzi site

perform general site clean up, drop off IRGAs for Liukang tomorrow and
leave cell phone in tower pc enclosure
