the instrument was running at 6:45 AM but had software updating had stopped.  Restarted Labview and DIAL code could not connect to Newport power meter.  Cycled power on the power meter and restarted Labview.  Working again at 7:00 AM.  Was able to peak up the signal about 50 counts

sonde launch around 9:00 MDT

at 11:30 MDT changed the online wavelength to 828.200 nm (was 828.199 nm) and peaked up the signal (about 50 counts)

20-June-12

at 14:00 MDT changed the offline to 828.287 nm (was 828.295 nm)

was able to process the first two sonde profiles from 18 and 19 June.  Seems to be losing too much signal in the online channel so will change wavelength towards weaker absorption after next sonde launch
