=====
September 2, 1996 -- 246
INSTRUMENT STATUS: nominal
CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Imported the following studies from RAL: BURST_1,
NFFAST1_1, NFFAST2_1, and UVCS44W_12. Changed the
duration of UVCS44W_12 from 6312 s to 7000 s.
PLANNING :
=====
September 3, 1996 -- 247
INSTRUMENT STATUS: Secondary event detected again. Event was later
overwritten.

September 6, 1996 -- 250
INSTRUMENT STATUS: nominal
CDS GROUND SYSTEM: changed quicklook disk to /cdsr1. In order to automate
feature tracking, placed the following lines into LOADPLAN
to ensure that the feature tracking parameters are loaded:
@ARGV=("today.dt");
do 'CB2FEAT';
Detector 1 tripped again. Detector was reset and was okay.

PLANNING :
=====
September 9, 1996 -- 253
INSTRUMENT STATUS: nominal
CDS GROUND SYSTEM: nominal, EGSE crashed for some unknown reason. Then, the
connection between CDS and EOF would not terminate. After
logging out and back in again, the problem cleared up.
.REL files from EOF were ftp'd to recover the lost data.
PLANNING :
=====
September 10, 1996 -- 254
INSTRUMENT STATUS: nominal
CDS GROUND SYSTEM: nominal, changed the HV trip on detector 1 to 26 uA from
25 uA. Change also included in GIS_SETUP.
PLANNING :
=====
September 11, 1996 -- 255
INSTRUMENT STATUS: *** Closed CDS doors for momentum management at 17:00 UT *

September 12, 1996 -- 256
INSTRUMENT STATUS: nominal, doors reopened at 21:30 UT.

CDS GROUND SYSTEM: nominal
PLANNING :
=====
September 14, 1996 -- 258
INSTRUMENT STATUS: nominal, 5 studies between 0000 and 0730 were run with
slit 6 instead of slit 4 due to an error in which the slit
was manually set to 6 before the studies were run and was
not set back to slit 4. The instrument assumes the slit
to be at 4 and continued to run the studies as though that
were the case.
CDS GROUND SYSTEM: nominal
PLANNING :
=====
September 15, 1996 -- 259
INSTRUMENT STATUS: Primary SEU at 8001cdf4 - compression module. Rebooted
CDHS beginning at 17:15 UT. The GIS software patch was
not recovered and had to be reloaded. The reload was
successful.
CDS GROUND SYSTEM: nominal, /cdsfits4 at 96%, moved some fits files to /user1/
master/fits_temp for temporary storage.

September 17, 1996 -- 261
INSTRUMENT STATUS: nominal, ran the lube study at 17:00 UT.
CDS GROUND SYSTEM: nominal
PLANNING :
=====
September 18, 1996 -- 262
INSTRUMENT STATUS: nominal
CDS GROUND SYSTEM: nominal, imported study demst_1 into the EOF, software
update performed at 19:00 UT.
PLANNING :
=====
September 19, 1996 -- 263
INSTRUMENT STATUS: nominal, very degraded data from 0000 to 0800 last night.
Data was recorded at the station, so a retransmission is
necessary. Most fits files created during those times
are worthless. Once retransmission is done, we will redo
the fits files for that data. Secondary event recorded at
1750 UT. Rebooted at 1830 UT with no problems. CDS now
nominal.
CDS GROUND SYSTEM: nominal, /cdsfits4 at 96% again. May have to move more
files tomorrow.
PLANNING :
=====
September 20, 1996 -- 264
INSTRUMENT STATUS: nominal
CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Initial command load failed due to duplicate request ID
being generated by the IWS. This seemed to be due to
the IWS crashing while still connected for commanding. It
did not store the last request ID it had used. A retry
of the command load succeeded.
PLANNING :
=====
September 21, 1996 -- 265
INSTRUMENT STATUS: CB2FTI (Feature Tracking Interval) error generated by
MCU backup. This was due to the duty scientist forgetting
to run PREPARE_FT. No action taken except to run
CLEAR_ERRORS.
CDS GROUND SYSTEM: XCPT is reporting no entries in the SCI_FLAG database. In
addition XCPT compiled command loads for the wrong time
period when called from MK_PLAN. Stopping XCPT while doing
this at one point caused an LTB file to be erased. This
was only discovered when the command load was attempted.
The LTB file had to be manually reconstructed, by this
time it was to late to run the first study - SYNOP.

INSTRUMENT STATUS: CB2FTI (Feature Tracking Interval) error generated by
MCU backup. This was due to the duty scientist forgetting

INSTRUMENT STATUS: nominal
CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Transition to IDL version 4. Mounted a new (temporary)
disk on cdsa1 called cdsfits5. When our new disks arrive,
we will be transitioning to the new disks.
PLANNING :
=====
September 25, 1996 -- 269
INSTRUMENT STATUS: nominal
CDS GROUND SYSTEM: nominal, for some reason CPT twice incorrectly included the
wrong times for a plan. There was a timetagged study which
just crossed the time boundary, and when CPT was run, it
included that study in the plan. CPT was rerun twice, and
finally the plan had to be modified as to make the
timetagged study which crossed the boundary and untagged
study. CPT then worked fine.
PLANNING :
=====
September 26, 1996 -- 270
INSTRUMENT STATUS: No studies ran last night due to a sequence ID error. The
reason was due to a multiple runs of CPT without using a
/new. As a result, a sequence ID error was reported and
the instrument ran nothing between 0000 UT and 1722 UT.
CPT was run with a /new and a plan was loaded to start at
1722 UT.
CDS GROUND SYSTEM: nominal, Some GIS studies had an icorrect GSET ID of -1 in
the catalog entry. Studies were identified and edited to
correct the errors in the catalog. After running an IDL
routine on the catalog, it was discovered that a 16
other studies were missing either the SCI_OBJ or the
SCI_SPEC. These were also edited to correct the errors.
These studies will be reprocessed through the CDROMs at
a later time.
Also, changed the archive disk to /cdsd5.
