- | ===22=== | ||
- | * [[Kitt Peak Weather Websites]] | ||
- | * We have re-aluminized the secondary, laser aligned it and collimated the primary. The f/9 focus may have changed a small amount for instruments at cass focus since we made an improvement in the secondary housing by adding cork between the glass and metal structure. | ||
- | ===19=== | ||
- | * Some lights on console do not work, for example Dome Left/Right, Screen Up/ | ||
- | |||
- | ====September==== | ||
- | ===6=== | ||
- | * Azcam & Azcam xterm | ||
- | * We now only have one computer (Bokccd2) for both the B&C and 90Prime instruments. | ||
- | * Scripts & header templates are now located on the Azcam computer in the C:/data directory. | ||
- | * There are two desktop icons, one for the B&C and one for 90Prime for Azcam Consoles to access scripts. | ||
- | * BokCCD2 issue: This computer has an issue we are in the process of fixing where it will freeze when you try to take the first exposure after turning the computer on after using the Shutdown option on the start menu to turn it off previously. | ||
- | * Always-on Network | ||
- | * We have an UPS now that always remains on and is located in the closet behind the computer rack. Plugged into this is a power strip feeding BokPOP, BokAux, the internet and wifi (renamed Draytek; was TRENDnet), the Young wind sensor and phones. | ||
- | * Weather computer | ||
- | * New weather computer mounted to the wall next to the display monitor. | ||
- | * This computer is also password protected. | ||
- | * There is a dome open/dome closed readout on the weather webpage. | ||
- | * Under development currently, we have a place on the weather page to read out the RA oil pressure. | ||
- | * Lightning shutdown | ||
- | * We have updated the lightning shutdown procedures on the wiki: https:// | ||
- | * IP addresses | ||
- | * Thanks to Jeff Rill for putting together this summary (copied & pasted from a previous email) of changes to IP addresses that happened recently and their benefits: | ||
- | * The outside public address of the 90” is now 140.252.86.113 | ||
- | * The NTP Time Server is now 140.252.86 114 (was 140.252.86.106 ) | ||
- | * The Young wind sensor near the 36” is now 140.252.86.115 | ||
- | * These changes will have several benefits: | ||
- | * Ability to use the Control Room Wi-Fi anytime | ||
- | * Allow the SuperLotis to see the Young Weather Sensor when the 90” is shutdown | ||
- | * Keep at least one of the Control Room telephones working all the time | ||
- | * Allow access to ‘bokpop’ from outside the 90” for various tasks | ||
- | * Allow the Aux-PC to be used during a shutdown to see radar maps | ||
- | * New Console UPS | ||
- | * A new Console UPS has been installed in the computer rack in the control room. To turn this on and off you have to hit the power button and then use the arrow and OK buttons to choose “Turn Off Immediately” or “Turn On Immediately”. | ||
- | * There’s a newer computer mounted to the bottom of the IIS called BokCCD5, that’s been around for a while, but there’s some things worth mentioning. | ||
- | * Both Bokccd5 and Bokccd2 have to be on for the B&C to work. | ||
- | * When turning on/off Bokccd5 use the small grey button and hold it down until it turns off. Also, the “on” light comes on sometimes, even when it’s not really on. Make sure after turning it on you hear beeping, otherwise you’re going to have some connectivity issues with Azcam. | ||
- | * 90Prime users | ||
- | * You may notice your focus values have changed since downtime, Greg has worked on the actuators since you’ve used it last. | ||
- | * On the 90Prime guider there is currently a strange blob. We are going to address it before 9/17. Please let us know if you need to use it before that. | ||
