We had an incident today where the VLA antennas did not get set up.
Ken had been running a private Executor at P band. I requested the
operator to start Csysstart. EVLA antennas came up fine; VLA antennas
were totally screwy. Investigating, none of the C band setup
information reached the antennas - the L6s were set to the P band
values, and the front ends were still selecting P band. (I didn't
think to check the FRM, but it was probably wrong as well as the
fringes were present but unenthusiastic when I set the L6 and bandselect
by hand on one antenna.) Restarting the script to resend setup
information cured things.
