Moves and updates for XPIA

All three Windcubes have been moved to the BAO on 2/9 in preparation for the XPIA experiment. GPS coords for each system are listed below. According to Google Earth, they should all be at 40.004881N, 105.0039W, 1582msl although the individual measurements show more variability.
 
Paul and Clara with Windcubes 9 Feb 2015

Status as of visit 2/20:
WC68: (40.04885N, 105.00385W, 1581 msl; 40.04887N, 105.00385W, 1579msl on 2/9) operating fine, modem updated, connecting regularly via TeamViewer. To do:
- update ftp script
- connect water reservoir to wiper

WC61: (40.04886N, 105.00389W, 1583msl on 2/9) could operate fine but there is a very loud fan noise, so the system has been turned off. To do:
- Data drive 100% full, so files need to be removed (first remove .dsp files and then transfer .rtd and .sta files to external drive, then remove from WC61's hard drive) and stored on breeze. Verify date/time correct
- Update modem software 
- Update ftp script
- Consult with NRG

WC49: (40.04884N, 105.00385W, 1582 msl; 40.04885N, 105.00390W, 1583 msl on 2/9) stage head rotating, date/time OK, modem software updated, but data returning all NaNs despite a few reboots on 2/20. To do:
- Investigate performance again after several reboots, then check with NRG. 
- Update ftp script.
