6/8/2012 Notes

I made a trip out to the CU Windcube while at NWTC Site 4.4 on 6/8/2012.  I was out there primarily to check on the system after a sever thunderstorm rolled through the NWTC 2 days prior, and to download the WC hard drive.

I first checked the WC at approximately 10:05 MDT and the laser head was rotating.  I initially tried to connect the CU Windcube laptop to the WC with an Ethernet line.  At first the connection was successful, but only for a moment.  It appeared that the WC computer was having some trouble as the head stopped rotating and the connection could not be reestablished with the laptop.  The WC computer self recovered after several minutes and subsequent connection to the laptop was reestablished.  Everything appeared to be operating normally from the WC self restart till the data transfer was complete.



General notes:
To connect the laptop, I set the laptop IPv4 address to 10.170.152.77, the Subnet mask to 255.255.255.128, and the Gateway to 10.170.152.1.  The WC IP address was 10.170.152.78.

 The water bucket was completely full.  I tested the wiper system and neither the water pump, nor the wiper blade activated when the system triggered each.

The WC computer listed the time as 12:34 AM when the local time was 12:34 MDT.

The directional offset in the system was +5 deg. and the "compass heading corr" was reading +8 deg.

For the sake of time some of the .dsp files (D:/DATA-EOLID/RAW) were not transferred.


Data repository:
I uploaded all of the data to breeze.colorado.edu.  (/data/fielddata/NWTC/Windcube/WC68/...)
