COM 100 12 1946-2003 *BR tape on both recorders are full. Not recording. HUERR 100 17 Called oncall site tech Bob Sanderson, left message on answering machine and voicemail. Will wait for a few minutes to see if anyone shows up at site or Bob calls back. If he doesn't, will call Mark Hofmann. 2003 BR Bob called from the site, said that he thought that he had three passes available and that he had timed things so there wouldn't be a loss of data. Figured out that the "problem" was the change in data rate from the previous file (128 Mb/sec) to this one (256 Mb/sec); TRACK ended pass 12 early due to the data rate change. New tapes are mounted. 2017-2020 *PT loss of commercial power. Autostowed. COM 100 3 2020 End. Downtime Summary: Total downtime : 67 min Percentage downtime of observing: 5.5% Average downtime per hour : 3.3 min Total scheduled observing time (# Antennas): 1210 min (10) Notes: * = Entries where data was affected. % = Entries where data may have been affected. & = Entries where the site tech was called out. WEA = Weather entries. MF# = Maintenance form or major downtime category associated with a problem. %AD = The percentage of an antenna affected by a problem. AMD = Total antenna-minutes downtime for a problem. Tsys = System Temperature (TP/SP x Tcal/2) ACU = Antenna Control Unit FRM = Focus/Rotation Mount RFI = Radio Frequency Interference VME = Site control computer CB = Circuit Breaker vclock = Program that compares site clock time to a standard.
