EVENT LOG FOR SITE PRO Most recent activity to be listed first. First line of each entry lists date, time and who is reporting. Subsequent lines of each entry aligned under Time column. Do not use tabs, only spaces. Date Time Who What ---------- ----- -------- ----------------------------------------------- 01/01/2006 09:20 troy@ruf 01:TestTagFailure: These failures are due to either a shift in tune due to a possible change in water temp or plugged trash racks. This will be addressed on the next site visit. 12/31/2005 09:29 troy@ruf 01:TestTagFailure: Either the tuning has shifted or the trash racks were/are in need of cleaning. PSMFC will address the tuning on the next site visit. 12/30/2005 08:29 darren@r 01:TestTagFailure: The transceiver appears to have shifted in tune and the results are a higher noise percentage causing the timer tag to fail.PSMFC will address this issue on the next site visit. 12/29/2005 08:08 troy@ruf 01:TestTagFailure: This transciever is in need of tune. It will be addressed on the next site visit. 12/28/2005 07:41 darren@r 01:TestTagFailure: The test tag is failing because the tuning has shifted. The detection efficiency has not dropped and will be optimized on the next site visit. 12/27/2005 08:36 darren@r 01:TestTagFailure: This alarm will addressed on the next site visit. It appears that the transceivers will need to be re-tuned as well. 12/26/2005 09:59 alan@ruf 01:TestTagFailure: PTAGIS Field Operations will investigate on the next site visit. 12/26/2005 09:49 Alan_Bro Manually pushed PRO05360.C1 to PTAGIS via PCA. 12/15/2005 08:13 troy@ruf 04:TestTagFailure: This alarm is a result of tuning that was taking place prior to testing a new light. 12/14/2005 11:05 Troy A test was ran today with a new florecent light on the right bank ladder. No obvious excess noise was detected. The light replacement will most likely take place in Jan. 06 and only on the right ladder for the time being. The replacement of the light is an effort to reduce the cost of Haolgen light bulbs which only have a 1000hr run time. 12/13/2005 13:15 Alan_Bro In an effort to achieve a more computer friendly environment, a space heater was installed in the PIT Tag room. Also of note: plastic was duct taped over the exterior of the air-conditioner as this was a huge source of cold air. This airway will need to be re-opened in the spring when the air-conditioner will be put back into service. Both PCs clocks were adjusted to within one second of atomic time. Both PCs were re-booted. No fish activity was observed during PC1's downtime. 12/12/2005 11:48 Troy Responding to loading issues with Prosser PC1 it was found that PC1 was locked up. I verified that the DSL service was up and running and was able to connect to the internet on PC2 and the Utility machine. I put a time stamp into PC2 file PRO05346.D2 at 11:18:52 and then rebooted PC1. There was activity going on in PC2 so when PC1 came up I put a time stamp in PC2 file PRO05346.D2 at 11:12:01. I was not sure where PC1 had stopped working, as it turns out the last file it created was PRO05344.D1. I manually pushed PRO05344.B1-D1 to ptagis. I opened a new file on PC2 and pushed PRO05344.E2 - PRO05346.D2 to ptagis. So file patching will be necessary as there was a fair amount of activity in the ladders as PC1 was being rebooted. I was unable to see what file Minimon was on when it locked up but the last visiable recorded displayed was on 12/10/05 at 14:36:02. 12/11/2005 12:06 scottl Site still has yet to load files. Cannot remote access the primary computer. Remote access to the backup was successful, Verified data was being collected on the back up, problems with PC1 will addressed Monday morning. 12/10/2005 14:52 scott Site has not loaded since 0300 hrs today. Verified data is being collected on both primary and backup pc's. Will continue to monitor and evaluate situation on Monday. 12/10/2005 10:58 Scott_Li Site has not loaded since 03:05:13 Dec. 10th. Will attempt to PCA to site and push files or at least get status of data collection pc. 12/10/2005 10:55 scottl@r 02:TestTagFailure: Will address next site visit 12/06/2005 08:20 darren@r 02:TestTagFailure: The site was visited yesterday to perform a site GMC and all transceivers were tuned and checked for noise. PSMFC also addressed a potential communications problem. 12/05/2005 15:43 Alan_Bro PRO05339.E1 - H1 were manually submitted via PCA. 12/05/2005 15:40 Alan_Bro Responding to the inactivity of transceivers 06 and 03 it was discovered that the breaker had been apparently shut off that fed the UPS for transceiver 06. This is being investigated. Transceiver 03 was giving "Unknown Data" errors on PC2 and "Unknown Communication" errors on PC1. Suspecting a Y-cable and/or Rocket Port problem, different cables and ports were swapped in and out of the system. A return to the original hardware and configuration showed that the problem had disappeared. PTAGIS Field Operations will continue to monitor. Some small file gaps may have been created during this process, but no fish activity was observed on PC2 during this time. 12/05/2005 08:17 scottl@r 02:TestTagFailure: Will address on the next visit. 12/05/2005 08:03 Alan_Bro Manually pushed PRO05339.B1 to PTAGIS via PCA. 12/03/2005 11:34 dlwarf@r 02:TestTagFailure: Site to be visited on Monday to investigate. 12/01/2005 08:40 scottl@r 02:TestTagFailure: This issue is being researched. 11/30/2005 09:10 scottl@r 02:TestTagFailure: This problem should be addressed in order to determine what component of the system is failing. The TT chart produced by the Link Check Report has been saved to a file. All subsequent failures will be archived also to possibly help diagnose the failing component. 11/28/2005 10:37 darren@r 02:TestTagFailure: Site will be visited in the near future and all alarms will be addressed at that time. 11/27/2005 08:09 troy@ree 02:TestTagFailure: These failures may be due to vibration due to plugged trash racks or the ladder may be de-watered. 11/26/2005 10:38 troy@ree 02:TestTagFailure: This test tag failure will be addressed on the next site visit. 11/24/2005 20:11 troy@ree 02:TestTagFailure: These test tag failures are most likely due to the ladder being de-watered or turbulance due to plugged trash racks. 11/23/2005 08:53 troy@ree 01:TestTagFailure: Noted. 11/22/2005 08:34 troy@ree 02:TestTagFailure: Noted. 11/21/2005 08:04 troy@ree 02:TestTagFailure: Noted. 11/20/2005 10:08 alan@ree 01:TestTagFailure,02:TestTagFailure: These alarms are being generated because the ladder has been de-watered. 11/19/2005 09:54 alan@ree 01:TestTagFailure,02:TestTagFailure: These alarms are being generated because the ladder has been de-watered. 11/17/2005 08:28 alan@ree 01:TestTagFailure: This alarm is occurring because the ladder is dewatered. 11/16/2005 08:26 alan@ree 01:TestTagFailure,02:TestTagFailure: These alarms are being generated because the ladder has been de-watered. 11/14/2005 09:35 alan@ree 01:TestTagFailure,02:TestTagFailure: These alarms are being generated because the ladder has been de-watered. 11/13/2005 09:29 darren@r 01:TestTagFailure,02:TestTagFailure: These alarms are being generated because the ladder has been de-watered. 11/12/2005 07:27 darren@r 01:TestTagFailure,02:TestTagFailure: Ladder is currently de-watered. 11/11/2005 08:22 darren@r 01:TestTagFailure,02:TestTagFailure: The left bank ladder (antennas 01,02) was de-watered yesterday around 10:00. The center ladder was then watered up. The counting window was repaired on Wednesday by an outside source and tested. The center ladder will remain watered up for a short period of time. The BOR does not have enough water in the system to run all three ladders. 11/08/2005 08:01 darren@r 01:TestTagFailure: No apparent reason for the test tag failure. PSMFC is monitoring this facility for radio communications by firing the timer tag once every minute. 11/03/2005 14:46 Darren During a maintenance PCA connection PC1 was inadvertently locked up. PSMFC personnel traveled to site to correct this state in doing so the file was lost on PC1 but was filled with a file from PC2. PSMFC also increased the time intervals on transceiver 03 and 04 for firing the timer tag to every minute. This is being done to check radio transmission for all 6 radio modems. 10/31/2005 09:06 scottl@r 06:LowExcCurrent: Will adjust the current threshold to avoid the errors 10/27/2005 12:17 Darren_C The center ladder was watered up yesterday to run a test on the PITtag collection instrumentation. When water was introduced into the ladder it was noticed that the counting window began to leak. Mark Johnstone (YIN) and Richard Corkins (BOR) inspected the window and it was determined that the seal around the window had been pushed out in some places and deteriorated in others. The BOR mechanics are scheduled to be out on site on Monday or Tuesday of next week to look over the problem and decide the best repair solution. The ladder will not water up until the counting window has been repaired. Darren R. Chase PSMFC Systems Engineer (509) 735-2773 ext.3 darren@psmfc.org 10/27/2005 09:32 Darren_C The center ladder was watered up yesterday to run a test on the PITtag collection instrumentation.

The ladder is currently de-watered and will remain in this state until the counting window can be repaired because of leaking that occured when the ladder was watered up during yesterdays testing. 10/26/2005 11:30 scottl Platform reconfiguration took place at 09:33:26 pst,10/26/05 to reflect the addition of the center ladder antennas 03 and 04. The ladder should be watered up sometime early this afternoon. Verified communications between interrogation platform and the transceivers. Final event log posting to follow when project is deemed to be 100 percent complete. 10/22/2005 08:54 troy@ruf 05:LowExcCurrent,06:LowExcCurrent: These alarms will be monitored for future occurances and addressed on the next site visit. 10/08/2005 10:39 alan@ruf 02:TestTagFailure: These alarms were caused by PTAGIS Field Operations personnel during a site visit. 10/07/2005 15:21 Scott_Li The following file gaps were created while maintenance and reconfigurations were being performed on the data collection platform. 10/05/05 12:46 10/05/05 12:54 LOADED 5 mins 01 10/05/05 19:24 10/05/05 12:55 10/05/05 16:00 LOADED 1 mins 01 10/05/05 19:24 10/07/2005 15:00 Alan_Bro PRO05280.C9 was created from PRO05280.C2 and manually submitted to PTAGIS to fill a gap created this morning during computer maintenance. 10/03/2005 15:29 Don_Warf A final inspection for in-water work performed by Knight Construction was held today by YIN, BOR and PSMFC staff. No outstanding issues were noted. BOR electrical work is estimated to be completed at the end of Oct. If the BOR schedule holds, PSMFC should complete the install and be operational on the middle ladder by the week of 11/7. 10/02/2005 13:57 scottl@r 01:Overrun,02:Overrun: System more than likely needs tuned, will respond if necessary. 10/01/2005 11:40 scottl@r 01:Overrun,01:TestTagFailure,02:Overrun,02:TestTagFailure: The transceivers more than likely need to be retuned. Last word was that the contrator has pulled out of site and that the ladder was dewatered. 09/29/2005 16:27 Scott_Li PC1 is unresponsive, PC2 was verified collecting data, will respond in the AM. 09/29/2005 10:20 Alan_Bro Manually pushed PRO05272.C1 to PTAGIS via PCA. 09/22/2005 13:43 Alan_Bro The platform is unavailable via PCA. PTAGIS Field Operations personnel are traveling to the site to investigate. -----Original Message----- From: pittag@psmfc.org [mailto:pittag@psmfc.org] Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2005 1:15 PM To: sitemaint@psmfc.org Subject: Problems with remote data sites... The following problems with remote sites were detected; pro: Last data submission was received on Thu Sep 22 9:03:47 PST 2005 Please check this out. 09/21/2005 08:24 Darren_C A site maintenance visit was performed on Monday (9-19-05) to try and rectify the "overrun" problems that were causing alarms on A1 and A2 at the Juvenile facility. Upon arrival it was discovered that PC2 had locked up while creating file PRO05258.C2 at 07:58:06. I was unable to close out the file cleanly and had to shut down the application and restart Minimon. The "overrun" condition was being generated by a bad oscillator output from transceiver A1 into transceiver A2. The transceiver was replaced. Darren R.

The overrun conditions on A1 and A2 are being investigated and will be addressed before the facility starts collecting. 09/03/2005 07:50 darren@r A1:Overrun,A2:Overrun: This alarm will be addressed before the site waters up next season. 09/02/2005 11:15 darren@r A1:Overrun,A2:Overrun: Alarms will be addressed before this site waters back up. 09/01/2005 15:53 Darren The transceivers at both the left bank and right bank ladders have been set to fire their timer tags every minute. This being done to test the radio modem connection and for interference. File PRO05244.E1 contains the start of this timer tag test. Each transceiver should fire 180 timer tags per file. PSMFC will be monitoring the tag counts to verify data transmission. 09/01/2005 10:47 PTOC_Bot Added timer tags for coils '03' - '06' to the ptagis3.test_tags table. 09/01/2005 09:14 Darren I spoke with Mark Johnstone this morning and had him answer two questions about the trapping procedure. Issue #1 the fish that are trapped are hand scanned for PITtags. Issue #2 the fish once processed are released back into the ladder but above the detectors so there is a chance that they will be detected but it would be as fall back through the detectors. These issues were not clear on the previous e-mail from Mark on when the trapping will begin. 09/01/2005 09:10 Darren PSMFC will conducting a test on antennas 01,02 and 05,06 that will test for radio transmission of Data on all four antennas. We will turning on the timer tags so that they will fire once a minute. By staggering the each transceiver we should have a timer tag firing every 30 seconds. We will be checking for timer tag failures for a period of about one month. PSMFC will post the exact time of the tests origin. 09/01/2005 08:13 darren@r A1:Overrun,A2:Overrun: PSMFC will investigate these alarms today while on site. It appears that there may be something going on at the facility that is causing theses alarms. 08/31/2005 14:26 Darren_C This e-mail is from Mark Johnstone explaining the operation of the trap on the right bank ladder. The Prosser Right Bank Alaskan Steep Pass Denil will begin operation on September 6, 2005, it will operate through the first week of December or until adult fish passage drops to near zero, daily. The hours of operation will be, 7pm to 6am nightly until approximately, September 18 or until daytime temperatures drop. Once full operation is initiated, the denil will run 24hrs a day, 7 days a week. 08/30/2005 15:06 Darren On 8/30/2005 at 13:23 PST antennas 05 and 06 (right bank fish ladder) were brought online. File PRO05242.G2 was submitted manually from PC2 to fill the gap while PC1 was being configured for the new transceivers. The clocks on both PCs were set to within one second of atomic time. The portland office was notified prior to having the site submit any files from pc1 to ensure that the site configuration was ready to receive data from transcievers 05 and 06. 08/30/2005 08:27 darren@r A1:Overrun: Alarms will be addressed on the next site visit. 08/26/2005 08:09 scottl@r A1:Overrun: Transciever is more than likely failing. Highly unusual alarm for this site at this location. Will investigate. 08/23/2005 08:03 scottl@r A1:Overrun: Noted. 08/22/2005 09:55 Darren The right Bank ladder was watered up on Friday 8-19-05. Although the work is not quite complete for this site it will be completed this week. The antenna cable from the transceivers to the J-Box still need to be installed as well as the communications in the PITtag room. This should be completed this week. 08/20/2005 10:20 scottl@r A1:Overrun: Will monitor, this error is unusual for this site. 07/24/2005 11:05 scottl@r 02:HighTemp: Will address the heat issue next week. The doors on the transcevers were cracked open to trya and evacuate some of the heat from the enclosure. 07/22/2005 16:17 Darren The site was visited today because of loading problems that corrected itself prior to arrival. The transceiver 02 was in a constant High temp alarm I went out to the ladder and opened the doors on both transceivers to try and eleviate some of the heat. We will monitor the site to see if this helps. 07/22/2005 09:00 Alan_Bro PTAGIS Field Operations is looking into the whereabouts of the tardy file. -----Original Message----- From: pittag@psmfc.org [mailto:pittag@psmfc.org] Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 7:15 AM To: sitemaint@psmfc.org Subject: Problems with remote data sites...

These alarms were gernerated at 22:15 hrs. Also noticed a Analog comms failure which might indicate that the analog pcb could be failing .status dump indicates the internal temp to be at 59 c. 07/07/2005 09:26 Dave David Lind notified me that, according to Mark Johnston, the PRO sampling operations from Chandler Canal have been suspended for the migration year. The facility is dewatered, and all fish will pass (unmonitored) through the Primary Bypass Flume. 07/07/2005 08:20 troy@ruf 02:LowExcCurrent: This alarm will be addressed on the next site visit. 06/24/2005 09:03 darren@r 02:HighTemp: This alarm will be investigated on the next site visit. PSMFC will monitor for future alams of this nature. 06/08/2005 14:13 troy A GMC was performed 06/08/05. All transceivers were checked for tune. 02 is experiencing noise spikes due to plugged trash racks. Mark Johnston was notified of this and that there are fish trapped in the lower part of the fish viewing window. 20 sticks were thrown and all were detected. 05/23/2005 15:43 Troy The transceiver in the right listening post in 05 not 03 as stated in the previous pitevent. 05/23/2005 15:42 Troy A site GMC was performed 05/23/05. All transceivers were checked for tune and no problems were found. 20 sticks were thrown and the results are as follows: A1 20 of 20 A2 20 of 20 A3 20 of 20 2 listening post were put in place today. One on the center ladder (PRC with transceiver 03) and one on the right lader (PRR with transceiver 03). PSMFC will collect data from time to time in order to do noise analysis. 05/19/2005 09:41 Troy A site GMC was performed 05/19/05. All transceivers were checked for tune and no problems were found. 20 sticks were thrown and all were read on A1,A2 and A3. 05/17/2005 08:12 troy@ruf A1:TestTagFailure: Noted 05/11/2005 14:38 Alan_Bro A GMC was performed 5/11/2005. All JFF transceivers were tuned. The ladder was de-watered, 01 and 02 have been performing well and will be checked on the next site visit. The separator and sample monitors were sticktested with 20 sticks, results following: A1 20/20 A2 20/20 A3 20/20 51 20/20 52 20/20 No problems found. 05/05/2005 15:41 Alan_Bro A GMC was performed 5/5/2005. All transceivers were tuned. The separator was sticktested with 20 sticks, results following: A1 20/20 A2 20/20 A3 20/20 No problems found. 04/30/2005 09:14 Troy Noticed that the effiencies on coil 52 are low for the last 24 hours. This issue was addressed less than 24 hours ago which may be the cause of the low effiency number. I will check later this afternoon to see if there has been an improvement. 04/30/2005 09:10 troy@ruf 01:LowExcCurrent: This alarm occurred during a site GMC. 04/29/2005 14:43 scottl CEA indicated that transceiver 52 detection efficiencies had dropped off to unacceptable levels. Further investigation found Communications from transceiver 52 were yeilding " unknown communications error" on both PC1 and 2. Problem was tracked down to a bad Y cable in the HSIP. Replaced cable, tested good. Per site personnel, the high number of PIT-tag fish through the facility in the last couple of day's is due heavy rain and elevated water levels in the Yakima river. Suspect that the fish released from the acclimation ponds up river are finally making their way down stream. 04/26/2005 13:43 Alan_Bro A GMC was performed 4/26/2005. All transceivers were tuned. The separator was sticktested with 20 sticks. Due to the elevated number of PIT Tags currently going through the separator, the report function in Minimon is hard to use. The CEA report shows over 98% efficiency on all transceivers. PC1's clock was adjusted ahead 00:04:33 and is now within one second of atomic time. PC2's clock was 00:56:27 ahead of atomic time (and also 01:00:00 ahead of PC1 prior to the adjustments.) The clock on PC2 was synchronized to PC1's using About Time. I'm not sure why the clock was off that far, but daylight savings adjustments were not selected. No other problems found. 04/14/2005 15:39 Troy A site GMC was performed 04/14/05. All trassceivers were checked for tune. 30 sticks were thrown,the results are as follows A1 30 of 30 A2 30 of 30 A3 30 of 30 03/31/2005 14:01 Scott_Li Reconfigured the site computers for DSL communications. All 3 computers are now on a persistant I/P connection. The PPP connection for remote access via PCA is still in effect and with the TCP/IP option. Reconfigured the Abouttime application with the correct I/P addresses and Minimon App. to use the Network connection for data transfer. Performed a test upload on both pc's with no problems. 03/30/2005 08:14 Alan_Bro PTAGIS Field Operations is looking into the whereabouts of the tardy files. 03/25/2005 10:24 Scott_Li A site visit was conducted on 3/23/05 for GMC's. The radio modems Frequency/Noise tables were queried for comparison to the tables that were downloaded during the initial installation. This is an attempt to see if any signal to noise levels have increased or decreased indicating some performance value. In short the noise, signal and power levels are very acceptable and have no reason to believe that radio links are not performing as expected or better. Tuned the transceivers in the left bank ladder the best they could get. Due to low water and turbulence, xcvr 02 is exhibiting periodic spikes in the signal levels , ~ 10 to 15 percent. The JFF was in primary bi-pass when arrived at ~ 1:30 pm. Site personnel indicated that the facility was in by-pass mode for ~ 1hr due to clogged screens in the canal. The best information we have is that the facility was in bypass from ~1230 pm to 1:30 pm 3/23/05. 03/14/2005 09:02 Alan_Bro A GMC was performed 3-14-2005. All transceivers were tuned. The v5.0 firmware upgrade was verified on all transceivers. No problems found. 03/09/2005 10:20 Alan_Bro All transceivers were flashed with version 5.0 firmware 3-7-2005. 03/09/2005 10:18 alan@ruf 51:TestTagFailure,A1:TestTagFailure,A3:TestTagFailure: These alarms were generated during the v5.0 transceiver firmware upgrade. 02/05/2005 07:49 darren@r 01:TestTagFailure,02:LowExcCurrent,02:TestTagFailure: Alarms were generated by PSMFC personnel while doing some on site maintenance. 02/04/2005 16:18 Scott_Li O@M personnel were onsite today in order to track down the source of vibration radiating from the vertical I beams/antenna guides. It was found that the metal braces that provide side to side support were misaligned with the I beam and when tightened down put torque and tension on the beam. In order to resolve this problem, the mounting holes on the beam were re-drilled for better alignment. This seemed to help matters considerably; the phenomenon of barely touching the beam and introducing noise into the transceiver was eliminated. Unfortunately, the same situation exists where the antenna stop bolts to the guide. All the weight of the antenna on this stop seems to have the same effect. Bottom line here is that the vertical I beam is way under rated. This beam and antenna guide will of primary of interest when designing the infrastructure for the right and center ladders. The left bank ladder will of course also receive this modification. 02/02/2005 08:51 Carter_S Clean Clean DocumentEmail false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband- size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style- parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font- size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Left Bank Ladder..

Per our conversation today, with help from the Biomark gang, we have effectively isolated the vibration source that is causing the interference on antennas 01 and 02. In particular, the vertical I- beam/antenna guide for antenna 02 was found to be extremely sensitive to even the slightest touch. The same goes for the I-beam guide for antenna 01, but is not nearly as sensitive as 02. As an interim solution to the problem, PSMFC will attempt to mitigate the vibration by either using wooden braces for additional support or other devices, i.e. clamps, turn buckles etc.. As a long term solution and a design change for the Center and Right bank installations, we propose that these vertical guides be encase in a concrete pillar with additional lateral support that would effectively remove the possibility of any vibration during any hydraulic conditions.

Low current alarm is likely caused during a GMC 01/24/2005 16:21 Scott_Li Vibration damping was installed on the base supports for the counting window antennas today along with installing neoprene pipe insulation inside the 2 inch flex hose that houses the antenna cable. This is all done in order to try and mitigate any vibration that may be propagated onto the antenna. Also, the video backboard was fastened down tight so that it also would not rattle. Will review reports tomorrow morning to see what positive effects that all this had on the system. Per site personnel, the JFF started sampling fish at 0900 hrs yesterday, Jan. 23. 01/24/2005 08:12 Scott_Li Maintenance personnel will be onsite today in order to try and mitigate the noise problems on antenna 01 and 02 at the left ladder counting window. Vibration on the antenna and or exciter cable is the likely cause of the noise. 01/24/2005 08:05 scottl@r 01:LowExcCurrent,02:LowExcCurrent: The low exciter current alarms were generated during a GMC 01/21/2005 08:46 Scott_Li Visited site yesterday and reconnected the transmit line on each transceiver in the JFF. The evaluation of the radio data link has been discontinued and the laptop computer in the left ladder pit was removed. The JFF is now in primary bypass mode and is expected to start sampling either Sunday Jan. 22 or Monday Jan.23. All transceivers were checked for tune and the buffers were erased at the JFF only. The facility is currently in production mode. Antennas 01 and 02 in the left bank ladder are in an excessive noise condition due to extreme turbulence and excessive debris build-up. Notified the YIN and BOR of the situation, someone will be out to remove the debris soon.. 01/13/2005 09:16 Alan_Bro Manually pushed PRO05012.G to PTAGIS via PCA. 01/11/2005 16:30 Scott_Li Retrieved data files from the redundant laptop PC in the PIT on the Left bank ladder. Will compare data files with the production data set as part an ongoing evaluation to ensure the consistency and reliability of the radio modems. Noticed that the noise level on antenna 02 were elevated to ~ 30 percent. The elevated noise levels are again due to clogged trash racks. Notified Mark Johnston of the situation, he indicated in an earlier phone call today that he would have someone from the BOR clean the racks ASAP. 01/05/2005 09:09 scottl All data files since the first of the new year have been reviewed and no scrambled data was found since the transceiver for antenna 02 was reset back in early December of 04'. Will continue to periodically check data files for anomalies , specifically transceiver 02's status dump. ####End of Event Log for PRO###
