20051205 report

CW inclinometry OK


20051202
All tilt axes zero-points (except for TY) were adjusted (supposedly) closer to zero.

20051205
Inclinometry was done as follows :

    Datasets  El Dirn     HST     mean leg temperatures   Humidity
                          start     start   middle   end       %
  ( 20051015  89  cw      10:28      n/a      n/a    n/a     n/a )
    20051205  89  cw      06:52      4.3      4.2    4.3      90 

The zero-point for TX is about -700 and TY (presumably using the default elevation of 88:47) was about -1400mV. The inclinometry setup instructions have been adjusted to reflect a better elevation, 88:46, and another adjustment on TX will be done asap.

All inclinometry and temperature data channels look; Ch13 - the #1 strain gauge - is still not functional.

The difference between the CW model resulting from these new data and the previous one of 15 Sep is shown below:

Apart from the initial settling in F3 - due to an early start in eaitehr this dataset or the previous one (probably this one) - the data suggest no systematic changes have occurred in the intervening period.
