APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday October 1, 2009 (MJD 55106) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Kaike Pan Audrey Simmons Steph Snedden (support) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Photometric all night with excellent seeing. We observed the following MARVELS plates: Cart 4, plate 3514A&B Cart 5, plate 3090A Broken fibers 95,96 - bundle yellow 7, fiber blue, tape yellow, overlay 7 Cart 9, plate 3513A&B Cart 8, plate 3084A&B Cart 7, plate 3087A Since there is a new PLC version(24), the MCP is complaining of mis-matched PLC values (23). There have been critical alerts about the BOSS ICC and TDS being dead and STUI is not responding to any boss commands. The ports were logged out and the actor was reset, but some of the ports failed to connect. Is this related to the work being done on the spectrograph cameras? The platedb did not update with all of the cartridge plugging information from yesterday. Within 'platedb showActive', cart 1 still shows plate 3517 when it is supposed to show 3633, cart 11 shows plate 3621 when it is supposed to show 3624, and cartridge 3 and 8 both read plate number 3084. We verified by eye that 3084 is in cart 8, and 3 has been unplugged. However, we ran into a problem loading cart 8 because it was reading the information for both cart 3 and 8. Kaike overrided the information for cart 3 with plate 3512 to get cart 8 to load with 3084. Please take a look at the lindy cart shed door. It needs help again. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Imager bias. Pinged all actors within STUI. All are alive and working. Since the day staff updated to a new version of the PLC (24), we have a "PLC: MISMATCH:24:23" error within the MCP window. MARVELS software still complains about the temperature of ch-10 and ch-16. The temperatures are just barely out of range. Checked fiduicals, gathered mirror numbers, mounted cart 4 for the beginning of the night. 00:05Z - Started ventilating.
