990523 report
More CW & CCW Inclinometry - but problematic
SUMMARY
CW & CCW Inclinometry was taken during poor weather
21-23 May 1999, although for various reasons the data are
not entirely useable.
Datasets HST start mean leg temperatures Humidity
start middle end %
( inc990521 02:54 1.8 2.2 2.3 20 )
inc990522cw1 20:24 21st 6.8 6.3 5.6 50
inc990522ccw 23:38 21st 5.5 5.0 4.4 55
inc990522cw2 02:45 4.0 3.5 3.0 55
inc990523 07:33 2.0 2.2 2.8 55
inc990523b 12:54 4.0 4.8 5.5 45
Differences between the various clockwise models are shown below :
- inc990522cw1 was started too early - see the rapid settling still
visible in the F3 results
- inc990522cw2 has extreme noise in the middle - cause unknown at
this stage
- the first run on 990523 seems good - the rms scatters in the
(F1,F2,F3) difference 990523-990521 are are, respectively :
(0.29", 0.16", 0.47").
- the second run on 990523 may be showing temperature effects
already.
- A new track model based on the first run on 990523 was installed at
13:00 HST on 19990524.
Symmetry
Only the dataset inc990523 is used to add to the
symmetry database,
although the 990522 data are used tentativelt to add to the CW-CCW data
below.
On this basis, the symmetry
remains good
(see the plot ).
CW-CCW
The difference between the first cw run on 990522 and the ccw run is shown
below :
Apart from the initial settling problem, this looks very similar to the
last CW-CCW taken, viz on 990516.
The difference between these two CW-CCW differences is shown below :
We add the CCW data to the database started on
990512 ,
dataset scatter about the best-fit str line to
Ch2 -vs- Ch8 Ch5(phase-flipped) -vs- Ch8
i.e. TY -vs- RY LY(phase-flipped) -vs- RY

inc990522ccw 0.84 1.72
inc990522cw2 0.67 1.55
inc990523 0.74 1.49
The CCW symmetry is always worse than the CW, but only marginally so.
