20030914 report

CW Inclinometry OK


Inclinometry has been done in the past month as follows :

    Datasets  El Dirn     HST     mean leg temperatures   Humidity
                          start     start   middle   end       %
  ( 20030819  90  cw      23:24      5.3      5.1    4.9      90 )
    20030830  90  cw
    20030906  90  cw
    20030914  90  cw      10:52      5.8      7.0    8.1      40

The intermediate runs were affected by some antenna tracking problem, possibly connected with a failure of mwttel. The run on 14 Sep was successful, and all data channels were OK. The model resulting from the last CW run is compared with previous CW model -- the one taken on 19 Aug below :

  • The differences in (F1,F2,F3) for the CW models are described by the rms scatters of (0.36", 0.14", 0.41") c.f. (0.44", 0.17", 0.35") previously.

  • The new (CW) model was merged with the recent (CW-CCW) average to create a new hybrid track model, which was installed at HST 12:30 on 15 Sep 2003.

  • The data have been used to update the plots of symmetry and strain gauge data. All seems OK.
