Use the order as a guideline in order to determine the relative priority of jobs.

Key for the "MR Status" column:

(%Y%) means the MR has final sponsor sign-off
(%M%) means the MR is awaiting final sponsor sign-off
(%S%) means the MR is being implemented (has CCC approval)
(%X%) means the MR needs CCC approval
(%P%) means the MR is either being written, checked, or needs initial sponsor approval
N/A means there is no MR for this task

Key for the "Task Status" column:

(%Y%) means the task has been successfully completed
(%M%) means the task has been completed and is awaiting integration tests
(%S%) means the task has been completed and is awaiting sponsor tests
(%X%) means the task will not be completed this cycle, but was expected to be completed
ok means that the task is not yet complete or ready for tests, but ALS has evaluated results & progress is clearly on track

1. Operational/User Support Items Completed During C2 2008

For each support item, please list the amount of effort involved as either: low, medium, or high. Guidelines for these rankings are as follows:

low - Things that take less than two hours.
medium - Things that take more than two hours, but less than eight hours.
high - Things that take more than eight hours.

If multiple people are involved in an item, please list it only once. Effort estimates should reflect total time elapsed, i.e. how long did it take to fix the problem start to finish - not the sum total of each person's time.

date - name - effort
19-Feb-2008 - RonGrider - Troubleshoot Astrid/GFM problem of not displaying plots on observer's Astrid but displaying plots on operator's Astrid. Grail client connection problem. low

PTCS	Servo Software MR		MelindaMello	JoeBrandt, PeteWhiteis	MJM 4/17/08: I went ahead and coded the control arbitration state machine that has not been officially approved. I did this for 2 reasons 1. A small piece of required code that can be easily tested using unit tests. 2. Allowed me to become familiar with a FSM library we have in YGOR which may be inmportant when we start considering the fault analysis in the servo. It has the potential to be designed as state machines but is a much larger problem and not fully defined. I coded (cut an pasted to a large degree) a builder pattern for consideration for use to fulfill the control kernel I/O requirements (really theory at this point). This was useful to determine where the level of abstraction needs to be to supported dynamic (at run time) I/O support for the control kernel. Created a software task list. It is very high level, but at least it outlines the first couple of priorities and what we need from other teams within the servo group to move forward on them. PTCS meetings to hammer out spec.	N/A

3. CM&E

Description	Tests	Submitter	Notes
lpc transfer failures	Occurs asynchronously, I know of no tests or means to cause the failure.	MarkClark
handling user catalog errors	user/CatalogTest.testConstructors	MarkClark
limit dcr integrations which fall outside of scan	Setup a scan with tp scan with cal switching, 0.1 switch period, 5 cycles/integration; set the scan duration to be 25.48 seconds and run a scan. The value of the last timetag in the DCR fits file should be no greater than 25.0 s past the starttime.	JoeBrandt
Incorrect use of FREQOFF	Setup a frequency switching scan such that the SFF_MULTIPLIER is 3, the correct sky frequencies in both SIGREF states should be as expected. See the MR for more details	BobGarwood	ModificationRequest13C208
Change weather direction definition to "winds coming out of"	Jason will follow an alignment procedure to verify correctness.	JoeBrandt	Coding complete, but waiting on approval for patch.
