[evlatests] EVLA Tests July 11,2005

[Mark Claussen]

Today I learned that we cannot run a script for EVLA antennas
without the parameters database (probably many of you knew 
that). Since the machine hosting the monitor datatbase also 
hosts the parameters database, and that machine was sittting 
in the helpdesk area, not connected to the network (or perhaps 
not even running), the executor refused to run my script.  By 
the time we figured that out, and brought the machine back up 
so that we could point to the database, software time had
essentially expired.   The software also doesn't apparently report 
this kind of database error, which Rich will fix in his next update.  
Pat has (this afternoon) copied the parameters database to another
machine, and Rich has pointed the executor to it, so hopefully I can 
try again tomorrow afternoon to track down the delay for An 16 
(as noted in the schedule, electricians are working on 14 today
and tomorrow).

Thanks to Rich and Pat for their patient help.
