The new data are recorded from the 3 active inclinometers and one of the
two strain gauge channels. The LT trace which has had issues previously suffered a problem during the middle of the run. This channel was subseuently excluded from the model determination and the RT channel was used as a substitute during the analysis.

The differences between the (CW) model derived from this run and the previous run on 15th June are shown below.

The resulting rms scatters in the differences in (F1,F2,F3) for the left hand plot are (0.58", 0.52", 0.38") compared to (0.34", 0.28", 0.42") last time.

The
CW-CCW profile is normal, and is used to generate a hybrid track model
which was installed on the 29th June at 14:00.
Strain Data
At first glace the strain gauge readings appear to be holding steady, but closer analysis (see strain gauge data) reveals another drop in loadings particularly wheels 1 and 4. This potential trend will be monitored more closely.
20090702 update
This morning we ran a adjusted cw inclinometry run with the sole purpose of gathering strain gauge data. Data was collected only for those azimuths where a wheel passes over the fixed strain gauge. The drop in the loadings (relative to wheel 3) becomes more apparent with wheels 4 and 3 looking particularly reduced.
