To restart Mike's labview program to monitor the Tx power: Use ICON: shortcut to serial_prog.llb In bottom left window (Path to file) enter: "C:\tmp\steamboat.txt" In bottom right window (amplifier command) enter: "fo" (will show forward power) At top click "two arrows chasing each other in a circle" symbol This will start displaying forward power every minute. Typical values are between 50% and 80% (?) but don't worry unless it goes to zero. This monitor is crude and primarily indicates that the system is running
Both profiler antennas had moved a little from vertical. Since there is ice underneath them, this was expected. The ice has been melting a little on warm days, eg, today there was a lake a couple of cm and a metre or two across next to mapr. MAPR was tilted about 0.3 deg towards the southwest. The 1299 was tilted about 0.5 deg towards the south. The antennas were re-levelled 23UT - 24UT on Jan 27.
MAPR: 0-1 side orientated 224 deg east of true north 1299: xvert (X+) orientated 241 deg east of true north (above directions have been corrected for magnetic declination of 11 deg)
