Ka Receiver: The receiver was cooled last week, and data taken with the CCB. The phase switching transients are improved, but are not as good as hoped, so some debugging is needed there. The radiometers' balance achieved will make the worst case isolation approximately -10dB. The receiver was warmed over the weekend to remove the waveguide input terminations, and to install the feedhorns. Penn Array: The cryogenics are cold, and testing shows many live pixels. Exact count and performance are not yet determined. We seem to be on track for a ~Wednesday installation. |

This begins the fourth full week of 6 in the sixth development cycle of 2006 which can be viewed at PlanOfRecordC62006. We are scheduled to release on September 29.
We were very busy attending the GBT Future Instrumentation Workshop last week.
MelindaMello will be returning from the Virtual Observatory (VO) school this week.
Operational support was relatively light last week.

Active Surface...
No work was done on the Active Surface this week.
Quadrant Detector...
While working with Ray Creager to test his QD Manager, we discovered that the QD data acquisition system (QD GDAQ) was sending incorrect checksums. The spare GDAQ was used to analyze this problem, the GDAQ firmware was modified, and testing with Ray's Manager yielded promising results. We plan to re-program the real QD GDAQ the week of 11-SEP-06 and conduct further tests using Ray's Manager.

We also had 16.5 hrs of maintenance but 8hrs of this was unscheduled (see below). Lost time was 3.4 hrs, about 2.2% of the scheduled observing time. Only 7 operator shifts had lost-time problems. Lost time was due to: |
