Today was the day for analog channels in Marigold. 16 analog channels were
implemented. Below is a table defining those channels.
A number of problems occurred trying to get the analog system going.
The first bottleneck was the filter/amplifier backplane for Marigold was not setup
for the 12 volt supply input. Since the parts to complete the task were not here, Marigold and
Ragwort hardware were switched. The next problem was one of the cables to connect the
amplifier/filter board to Datel was bad. A spare cable existed; however, we will need to
make a new one to complete the analog channels on Cosmos. The final problem was a bad
12m analog breakout cable. Physical channel 1 on board 2 was bad. The cable will be used since that
channel is not needed.
After all the hardware was installed a test was run with known voltage signals thru
each channel. Everything was acceptable. It was too late in the day to attach the Soviet
sonic. This will be done tomorrow.

Due to problems in Marigold, the rack hardware for Ragwort will need to have
12 volt supply cabling for the amplifier/filter boards completed. A call was made to
Boulder to have the parts sent up on Wednesday.

Spent a good part of the day wiring ragwort's backplane to provide 12 volts to
the amplifier/filter boards. Ran into problems with Datel talking to ragwort. Most of the
time Datel would download the application code ok; however, it refused to recognize any
commands such as "AdStart". Tryed swapping boards with cosmos; everything worked ok in
cosmos. Moved cosmos' Datel board to ragwort and it worked ok. Decided to leave them in
that configuration since we were successful.
During testing of ragwort, found a bad channel on one of the filter/amplifer boards.
Tryed swapping the obvious chips with no success.

The amplifier/filter board was removed from
the UW tower for repair work. Thsi means the fast t
sensors are not running at this time. Refer to later
logbook entry for sensors running again.

Forgot to mention that the analog board was
re-installed around 1700 on the 26th. The Krypton
hygrometer output was attached to logical channel
102. No changes have been made to config files to
start monitoring this sensor. Maybe tomorrow.

Marigold went down from 16:35
to 16:45 GMT. Hard to determine why it
stopped. It appeared as if marigold
did a reset on its own.

Marigold went down at 15:05 GMT.
Tom had a number of channels opened on marigold.
Maybe this had something to do with it. USSR sensor
was hooked up at about 15:00 GMT. Maybe that had
something to do with it. Anyway, marigold is
backup and running at 15:25 GMT.

Daisy went down when we installed the ozone

stay down until tomorrow.

Marigold had its problems today. The final fix
was resetting the datel board. This was done around 21:00
GMT. Refer to earlier notes for more information.
