    Preflight

    dsm305 analog card did not start, cycle power, see all variables

    DPR service mirror light on, cycle power, good preflight numbers, match DPL pretty well

    DP_VXL nan, all other numbers from it good, cycle power, all vars good

    probes end diode voltages good

    all A2Ds good, no channel shifting



    1403Z    Wheels up, all vars okay, heavy clouds on climbout

    1422Z    dsmLWO stopped, cycle power, looks good. In cloud, all probes show up on histograms, 2Ds show images

    1439Z    ADIFR nan, all other vars good, cycle power to dsm because of analog failure earlier. DSM305 IRIG-UNIX=0.1842sec.

    1444Z    DSM305 does not come back, multiple restarts. Checked for convertor on console port, present (note: multiple restarts with convertor present and not present on dsm305. down for flight)

    1507Z    restart cameras per Stuart

    1510Z    restart cameras again

    1555Z    restart Nimbus

    1617Z    Nimbus back

    1910Z    DSM Server and Nimbus stopped, restart data aquisition



  2. John,


    What did the control page show for 305?  

    The reason I ask is that under the circumstance, knowing 305s recent history, from yesterday, that a reboot might not work.

      The control page showed an out of limits IRIG to UNIX time, but otherwise good. I had cycled power to dsm305 the previous maintenance day at least 10 times in a row with no problems, so I believed that those problems were fixed. Since the analog card had required a reboot in preflight, I immediately went to that for a solution. After the preflight reboot, each item on the card showed up in Aeros one by one, about two seconds apart.  In retrospect, rebooting dsm305 was a wrong decision. The ADIFR reference line was probably frozen and the pressure difference between the ports was out of the transducer's range generating a nan.
