TPTCSPNT_70420

Various troubles getting started. Abort detected when trying to begin the long slow azimuth scan. Finally had to remove the backend (CCB) from the scan coordinator, and remove the Configure command from the script. Operator had to run a dummy scan to clear the red box fatal error. After that, the Az Scans sb could be run. 

Weather = clear skies
Scan 15:  04:03 UT  elev = 62, azim = -2.5 to +362.5 at +150'/min  (provides 1 minute ramp-up) 2007_04_20_04:03:48.fits
Scan 16:  06:31 UT  "          azim = +362.5 to -2.5 at -150'/min                              2007_04_20_06:31:36.fits
     average hourly winds for scan 15-16:  wind1: 0.13 - 0.23,  wind2: 0.26 to 0.86,  wind3: 0.33 to 1.06 m/s

Scans 17-32: start at azim=120, sit there 3 minutes, then go to 126, sit there 3 minutes, etc.   up to 210.
This gives a coverage of 90 degrees, and over the section probed last month.
