Summary: Installed 7700, checked/set Stardot clock.

Bouldin Alfalfa
2018-11-07

I arrived at 9:30. It was cool and dry with a light wind from the northwest.

I tried to retest the tipping bucket but I forgot the bottle to dribble the water at a slow rate. I put a hole is one of the bottles I had with me but the hole was too big and the water flow was too fast. The bucket only got 78tips.

I installed the LI-7700 sn TG1-0421. The 7700 has had its power board upgraded and was calibrated in the lab. It was reading 2.64ppm CH4 and 78.3 RSSI. I made sure it was connected and the columns being recorded looked okay. Daphne set its heater settings in the lab. It was showing intermittent time sync errors. I set the 7700 clock to slave and reset the box. This seemed to fix it.

I checked the clock on the Stardot camera. I thought it might be an hour and ten minutes off, but it was only ten minutes off. The time zone was PST8. When its clock read 9:37 I reset it to 9:47.
