Timing and synchronism now seem to be properly reestablished on the
array. A short fast-dump stress test at X-band shows all antennas
working nominally. IFs A and C seem now to be properly accepting
Fluke commands (or -- they were left by the last observation at an
appropriate value). Sensitivities look normal.
Except:
There were three correlator disorganization-dropouts during the 15
minute observation -- a frequency of occurrence never seen before. (To
remind -- the entire array goes incoherent at some time, which continues
until the next ten-second tick, followed by 10 seconds of no data,
followed by resumption of good data. This condition is never flagged.)
We are now running the standard all-band stress test over the lunch
hour. Results from this will be reviewed after I eat ...
