Setup

  • Get Ray to copy in latest version of Manager for me, plus mode 4 = BOF 123, mode 5 = BOF 124.
  • Fix checkBalanceDB script to include Archivist

Mode 4; tp_nocal

  • receiver is not responding correctly; Dave restarts it, but to no effect
  • pol1 seems rock steady
  • pol2 is jumping about a fair amount - and not changing by a constant no of dB per step.
  • bank_gain_mode4_kfpa (configured for tp_nocal)
  • balance(-20)
  • lbw_gain is now 164332592, which is around 2^27.2
  • set all lbw_gains to 134217728 (2^27)
  • converter rack is around 16 - 24
  • checkBalanceDB(0,31,2)
  • Scans 1 - 16
  • at 0dB, all saturating. at 10dB, almost all are in range

Mode 4; tp (with cal)

  • As above, but configured for tp with cal
  • scans 17-32

Mode 5; (tp_nocal)

  • balance(-20)
  • lbw_gain 165512994
  • reset to 134217728
  • checkBalanceDB(0,31,2)
