from Day=97, Time=200 through Day=97, Time=405.
: Phone Line Repaired
- Field visit by Jeff Andresen. Changed the phone line
connections and now able to collect data remotely.
- Collected data on campus and updated MAWN database
tables.
- Recent troubles allowed data buffer to fill and
some data was lost. Data is missing between (and
including) the following dates:
Day: 234, Time: 1715 (Aug 22, 5:15pm)
Day: 307, Time: 1650 (Nov 03, 4:50pm)
- Needs:
Current setup is not safe (grounded) from lightning.
Will need to schedule a visit before next summer to
properly ground phone/modem connections.
: Field Visit (Jeff Andresen & Jim Brown)
- Phone line still giving troubles. Test jack does
not produce a dial tone. Connecting phone line
directly into modem only produces a strange tone
with clicking sounds.
- Installed Pressure sensor. However, no changed made
to datalogger program so pressure is currently not
being recorded.
: Phone Line Activated and Data Collection Started
Phone Number: (see setup notes)
Large gap in data was created between the time the
station was setup and the time that the phone line
was activated. Due to this, the database tables
were rebuilt using the following as the start of
the the data archive:
24 hour data: 24:00, Day=197 (07/16/2001)
60 min data: 01:00, Day=197 (07/16/2001)
05 min data: 00:05, Day=197 (07/16/2001)
: Datalogger Program (MAWN1B) Activated
Data Logger Start Times:
24 hour data: 01:00, Day=170 (06/19/2001)
60 min data: 24:00, Day=170 (06/19/2001)
05 min data: 00:05, Day=170 (06/19/2001)
