personnel: JohnM, TomH.

Weather / Ops:

Clear but rather windy from the west.   Probably not a good day for what the science needs.

Sensor Status / Issues:

Overall the network is doing very well.  Everything has been staying up.   The Flux computer died again this morning and had to be rebooted but that only effects our ability to monitor data; Gully is ingesting/archiving just fine.

a17: The comms/dsm has been intermittent this morning.   Best guess is that it's the comm/blue-tooth.   Need to watch this.....

a2: 1m CSAT is having a diag bit set (4, bit 2) but the values uvwtc all look good.  The CSAT manual says that bit 2 indicates "poor signal lock", which may be caused by an obstruction in one of the paths.

TRH's: see other entry about speeding up the data rate on the serial versions, stns 1,2,3,5,6,c20,m21,m22

c20: TRH 1.5m outage ~9:00-10:00MST (15-16Z).   When reprogramming the sensor sampling rate the little devil didn't come back up.   DSM power cycling 'eio 7 0' and 'eio 7 1' did not work (need to check that the jumpers are set on that port for the remote power cycle method), so a manual power cycling was done.    2.5m trh was coated/greased completing the basic protection.

a8: TRH's intermittent this morning.   This appears to be the 'mote \r\n' software bug.   Need to fix and reprogram today.....
