1. HG SUMMARY
There should be no errors printed which might indicate a Micrometer positioning problems.
Check that there are no (or few) cases where it appears that the HG required multiple
attempts do complete a successful calibration.
Note the Intensity and watch for trends in intensity increasing or decreasing.
2. SL SUMMARY
Note the R5 and R6 ratios and the F1 intensity, and watch especially for sudden changes
that could indicate a malfunction.
Gradual changes over time are to be expected.
Make a plot (or plot the SLOAVG) file every week or two to look for deviations from the norm
of the three parameters.
Changes in R5 and R6 are associated with changes in the Brewer performance which could
be reflected in errors in the O
3. RS TEST:
RUN / STOP ratios for wavelength 0 and 2-6 should be 1.000 +/- 0.003
If larger deviations are found, then confirm them to be repeatable before taking any
corrective action.
4. DT TEST:
The two summary values should be within a few (5) nanoseconds of the values given in the
Final Test Record.
If larger deviations are found, then confirm them to be repeatable before attempting any
corrective action.
5. HP TEST:
The test should be successful in one or two attempts.
If multiple attempts are required on a regular basis, corrective action may be necessary.
6. RESET
The Reset portion of the printout gives values of Azimuth, Zenith and Micrometers zeroing
discrepancies.
Inspect these discrepancies and confirm that they are repeatable prior to attempting any
corrective action.
7. AP PRINTOUT:
Inspect the monitor values and look for consistent deviations and trends from the Final Test
Record, or from previous values.
8. RL PRINTOUT
The Log file printout should be inspected for any errors that the firmware detected, or
thought it detected.
If the errors persist then KIPP & ZONEN should be consulted for advice.
9. OBSERVATION DATA:
Data file summaries should be inspected to ensure that they are present, and data should be
reviewed as per instructions from the Scientific Authority for the Brewer station.
