Summary: Measured reflectance, installed compute stick, modem and Stardot, remove Canon

East End
2016-09-29

I arrived about 11:20 with Dennis, Kyle and Sam. It was clear, sunny and warm.

The 7500 read: 405.4ppm CO2, 738mmol/m3 H2O, 21.9C, 101.6kPa, 92.5SS – 100.5 after cleaning
The 7700 read: 2.02ppm CH4, 44.2RSSI – 80.0 after cleaning

Dennis did spectral reflectance at the boardwalk to the north of the tower site. He Did:
Reference, dark, sample down, sample up, sample down, sample up …reference, dark.

I added a compute stick and swapped the Canon camera for a Stardot sn 0030F4D214A3. I put new connectors on the Ethernet cable I installed last time but it still did not work. The one I did in the lab worked and I was able to get the connectors through the bulkheads so we can use that one for now. I did not remove the defective one or tie down the working one – next time. The Quatech serial box and AT&T modem both were set up and seemed to work. Crossing my fingers. It’s still kind of a mess. I think it will be better to use an Ethernet switch eventually. I forgot to add the power switch for the Stardot so it is on all the time.

The pressure sensors sn H0160069 ran fine in the lab so I reinstalled it.
