Burn-in issues/tasks

Just to start a list of what to do when/if(!) we get back next week – a fairly long list for 3 days!:

Site issues:

• dcs is totally down.  It appears to have lost power on 21 Dec soon after being powered up and subsequently died on 26 Dec.  Could the Victron have V/I limit settings set incorrectly?  Update: Sebastian says that his power (connecting to our AC outlet) is fine.  This further suggests that this is a Victron issue, rather than AC power.  DONE, Victron was bad. Replaced.
• pc is totally down.  Similarly, it lost power on 15 Dec soon after being powered up and died 23 Dec.  AC not getting from power panel to job box – cable issue?  DONE, extension codes became unplugged under the snow.
• lc power cord was cut by plow.  Might stay up until we get there and replace the cord. 
• up may or may not have a power drop, so might need to create another solar farm. (Do we have cables?)

Existing sensor issues:

• Most sonics are reporting NA, though they did work initially.  Assuming this is ice related (try more heating?), but might check with Campbell to see if a configuration change would help.  See table below
• Most EC150s also show missing data.  However, in at least one case, I've found the EC150 data to be okay – just missing because statsproc processes it in a group with the sonic data that ARE bad.  Hopefully, fixing the sonics will bring back the EC150 values.
• A thermocouple appears to have been plugged in at sh on 19 Dec, but seems to have died on 21 Dec – just 2 days later.  While it was plugged in, the data look good, though not exactly like tc (maybe a good thing).  I do see noise above 3Hz during the day and 8Hz at night.
• Rfan.3m.prs is bad (T/RH ok).  Housing should be replaced?  DONE, old housing had no fan!
• Rlw.in.2m.prs not reporting (in the CVF4 housing) – another Binder issue?  DONE, mote wasn't sampling, then Rlw.in wanted to be opened up all the way and reassembled.
• Tsoil.mw is all -273.  Hopefully, just a loose Binder connector. DONE, was loose Binder.
• P.2m.prs was missing horizonal pipe mount. FIXED
• HRXL.cc stopped reporting 24 Dec.

Sensor changes:

• reconfigure radiometers into operational mode at dcs and prs.  Have new mounting for 0.5m radiometer "paddles".
  
  • move CVF4 Rlws to darkhorse
  • move other paddles to 0.5, 7, and 32m (booms for 7 and 32 are on site at each site) – lots of cables to redo.  Sebastian will help.
• attach thermocouples and loggers to towers at dcs and prs.  Eric said he'd do most of this work.
• raise both TTs

Standard operations:

• finish recording serial numbers (a table has been started in this wiki)
• take site photos (maybe Dan has already done?)
• shoot boom angles (compass, then Leica)
• take the first set of gravimetric measurements (though freezing soil probably will have moisture that the EC-5 doesn't see).

Software:

• test heating scripts
• it appears that I'm close to parsing the RAD_LOGGER message correctly, but we should check with Sebastian.  I suspect that my "Rpile" variable from him really is an uncalibrated pile voltage.
• why are there still "Early sample...prior to sorting window" errors using prep?  I thought our new timing fixed all this!
• why are there frequent "EMERGENCY|SampleOutput: inet:128.117.43.122:30010: IOException: inet:128.117.43.122:30010: send: Message too long, disconnecting" error messages on the DSM consoles?  Could these be from the OTT, that reports something like a 32k byte sample?
• create irga_co2/h2o.dat QC files by height for supersites
• update all csat.dat QC files once boom angles are known.

Sonic status:
