Summary: Big generator won't be running more than few hours a day, Web cam not collecting images, Verizon not working again.
| Twitchell 2/4/2010 Arrived about 10:00am with Jaclyn. Roads are very wet, we took one of the four-wheel drive ATVs out to the site from the building. It was cool (~6C) mostly clear with very light breeze. The field is still dry enough to walk on. Talked to Jim. Say there were heavy rain and thunderstorms out that way. The big generator will go back into service soon to start drawing down the drainage ditches to help the fields drain. The big generator probably won't be running more than a few hours a day and our tower can stay on the sign generator until the big one goes full time. I swapped out the FGGA analyzer to replace its internal filter (sn 09-0012 out, sn 09-0010 in). The new FGGA at first did not line lock properly, its temperature was a little low ~9-10C. A hard restart after warming up for a while (~11C), all channels came up okay. Cell pressure still very sensitive to bypass valve adjustments. Old LGR: 9:56, 1.8354ppm, 11052ppm, 392.38ppm, 29.60C, 60.50Torr, 17.124usec, 10Hz New LGR 10:37, 1.9098ppm, 8993.77ppm, 397.46ppm, 11.35C, 142.24Torr, 14.001usec, 10Hz Swapped cards and copied data. Added new renaming software. Three batch files in the D:\Programs\DailyRename folder now rename the two CR1000 files, the CR23X file and capture the web cam images. The web cam had not been collecting images. Some problem with the network jack, unplugging and re-plugging the network cable at the computer seemed to fix the problem. Verizon was not working again. Unplugging and re-pluging the UM150 modem and restarting the software fixed it. I changes the software setting from an always on connection to a auto connect and run the sftp batch file. It worked while I was in the field, but no new files transferred this morning. Cleaned a water drop of the top lens of the LI7500, other sensors look good. Left for Sherman about 11am |
