Twitchell Alfalfa
2016-08-16

I arrived about 11am with Alison. It was clear, sunny and warn with a light breeze. They were picking up bales on the fields. The ditch to the south of the field was full of water.

I downloaded the data from the new forced diffusion chamber. It took a long time (10min) to download, then you have to delete the data from the chamber that is also kind of slow. Then you have to cycle the power on the chamber â€“ best to do at the cable connection on top of the chamber. A little difficult.

While I was waiting for the FD data I noticed the wire for the HMP60 fan was broken. I fixed the wire.

Alison cut the weeds around the scaffolding and solar panels.

We reset the 7550 box to fix a small offset in its clock. It was recording data at a small offset from 0.05 seconds.
