XPIA BAO WC61 & 68 Basic Maintenance and Troubleshooting

On 2015/04/03 between about 1500-1600 MDT, Paul Quelet serviced the WCv1 LiDARs running at the BAO during XPIA. Next day (2015/04/04), have checked both systems remotely. Seem to be taking more vertical data and have stronger cell signals.

WC61 (NCAR):

  • 2149 45-55 seconds (approximately), wiped lens manually. Should be NaNs in data files.
  • Lens wipe seems to have helped LiDAR remotely sense more vertical levels? (So far this seems to be the case...
  • Still running very strong.
  • Usually transferring data (although not always full file size).
  • Strong Verizon dongle signal (usually ~3 bars).
  • System requested Verizon software update upon login 2015/04/04. After saying "Yes", was not able to update, and said update will come back in two days. Should happen ~0830 MDT 2015/04/06?
  • Sun cover on.
WC68 (CU):
  • 2213-2215 installed WC49 cover on top of WC68. Put Verizon dongle upward to extend length and wiped lens off manually.
  • Lens wipe seems to have helped LiDAR remotely sense more vertical levels? (So far this seems to be the case...
  • Running well.
  • Manually downloaded data from 2015/03/20 to 2015/04/03 through remote desktop connection.
  • Has had trouble transferring data remotely or allowing TeamViewer login.
  • 2015/04/04 0000 UTC FTP data transfer seemed much improved with dongle position change.
Yes, I am aware that this is the non-matching sun cover number on the WC. However, it was quite a feat of strength to get the cover out of the Leosphere box and transport it to the site alone.

  1. Update...WC61 Verizon Software was attempted to be updated. It stated "Unable to update, you will be asked to update in 30 days."

    Will not mess with it any longer. If not broke, do not fix.
