  The IWS command rate was changed to 1/3 sec. for faster commanding on a
good station.
  The IWS command rate was changed back to 1/10 sec. for commanding on
DSN-27.

CDS INSTRUMENT: 
  GIS Detectors 3 and 4 Tripped at 09:13 UT.  This event occured while the 
G2AL_V4B study was running.  This study and GSET (66) was defined for quiet 
sun. However, the study was not run on quiet sun.
  The study itself is a sit and stare study using slit 2.  Counts were
initially elevated when the study started at 8:07 UT.  As an active region
rotated into the field of view, the number of counts on the detectors quickly
spiked until detectors 3 and 4 were finally safed due to excessive count 
rates. 
  GIS Detectors 3 and 4 were recovered at 16:32 UT.

  Due to insufficient NRT the science plan will begin at 00:00 UT (DOY 219).
This will leave CDS idle from 22:00 UT - 00:00 UT.
  A possibly unnecessary pointing adjustment was made at 00:06 UT (DOY 219)
in order to get the plan to run.  Due to late NRT, the plan was not quite
uploaded in time.

CDS INSTRUMENT: Nominal.
CDS GROUND SYSTEM: 
  A test of a new version of CPT was run from 19:15 UT to 20:45 UT.  The test
involved running a VIEWF study at [0, -962] (the south pole) then running
the ARC_CAL study at the same location.  Because the initial VIEWF study run
during a gap in contact, a second VIEWF was scheduled to run at 20:35 UT.
  Unfortunately, due to operator error the rest of the day's plan could not
be loaded in time.  Instead, the science plan will resume at 22:00 UT with
the Hilda AR Obs.
