Summary: Checking on systems both Tower and Floor locked up. Starting Tower solar power upgrade

When: Thurs-Sun., Mar 27-30, JD 86-89
Where: Tonzi/Vaira Ranches
Who: Ted Hehn
Weather

Trip Purpose: Tower reconfiguration to upgrade from 30 amp to 60 amp capability.

Tonzi Ranch: Friday 28 Mar 03, 09:00hr - clear, cool, high wispy clouds. Flowers are out this week – mostly the yellow version but some purple ones as well.

Floor system failure- PC running, Gillsonic.exe graphics on screen – all channels flat line. Licor running. Appears sonic not outputting serial data. Sonic translator box “receive LED” not blinking. Unplug sonic power lead and power sonic back up and “receive LED” begins flashing and traces on PC begin showing response. Lost 5-6 days of data. Appears PC watchdog did not function during that time. CR10x with watchdog software had no data for that time frame either so it appears both the PC and CR10x crashed.

09:30 - Tower system failure – PC on, Gillsonic.exe running – showing flat line on all channels. All data present for past week – appears to have failed during 05:00hr reset sequence this morning. Power down tower with off switch on solar regulator at 09:46. Tower system powers back up successfully and system begins taking data.

Requested and received permission from Mr. Tonzi to place portable toilet at site.

Begin tower power reconfiguration.
