Installed the two sonics at SSW2 and SSW4 today, after much running up and down the crater sidewall to get the correct cables to plug into the motes. Also installed a second 30W(?) solar panel at both sites. These were scavenged from the solar panel stands at FLR. FLR is now powered by 4 60W(?) solar panels.
SSW4: The battery measured 13.87 V.
After installing the sonic, I tried to calibrate the data scope but was unsuccessful because of the requirement to stand still and rotate through 8 45 degree increments while standing on a steep, treacherous slope. Measured the magnetic orientation of the sonic (no declination applied):
353.4
352.5
350.3
348.2
350.8
348.8
SSW2: The battery measured 13.66 V.
Sonic orientation:
337.5
337.0
337.2
336.8
337.2
