SF6 Analysers
The four (4) fast SF6 analysers each have two (2) outputs.
There is a data output corresponding to the analog signal
of the SF6 detection system and there is a mode output which
indicates the operational mode of the analyser. There are three (3)
different modes in which the system can be operated.
There is the sample mode where the analyser is allowed to sample
the atmosphere, there is the zero mode where the analyser is made to
sample zero air containing no SF6, and there is the span mode
where the analyser is made to sample calibration gas containing
a fixed amount of SF6.
The data output of -5 to +5 vdc is to be recorded at 20 hz.
The calibration factor is given in the form:
[SF6] = c = a(delta v)**b
where delta v = signal voltage - baseline voltage
= v - v(o)
where signal voltage correspond to the atmospheric sample.
where baseline voltage corresponds to zero gas signal.
The default value of a may be taken as 1 pptv.(mv)**-1
The default value of b may be taken as 1
The calibration is then approximately linear
1mv = 1pptv
The value of v(o) is to be determined every 30 minutes and applied for the
following 30 minute period.
The values of a and b will be given by Brian and their constancy checked
every 30 minutes by keeping track of the output during the span period.
The mode output of -5 to +5 vdc is to be recorded at 1 hz.
Three voltage levels (possibly -3, 0, +3 vdc) will be set by Brian.
NOTE ADDED 23 April 92:
Jim Rydock FAX'd to say that:
the delay time for the SF6 sensors is approximately 2.6 seconds
the response time for the SF6 sensors is approximately 0.4 seconds.

Radiation and soil sensor cabling configuration.
The tall darkhorse was setup at the 250m station with the radiation
sensors. The soil heat and temperature sensors were installed nearbye.
Four analog mux cables, A, B, C, and D from the darkhorse break-out-box
and two analog mux cables, E and F, from another analog break-out-box
ran to cosmos.
The cabling from the break-out-boxes was as follows.

During bootup a power surge shut aster down. This
may have been due to the air conditioner in Brain's

Since we have moved the barometer to cosmos, removed
the 5m sonic at cosmos, removed twet data from the archive
set, and added the conditional sampler; the decision was made
to go to ops2.

UPDATE TO FAST T @ 175m:
The problem with the fast T at marigold
was due to somebody soldering the jumper #4 closed
on channel 0. This caused a .5 gain factor.
When Allen tryed the fast T on channel 1 the same
jumper had been solder closed; however, jumper #5
was installed giving an additional gain of 2 with
a -5 volt offset. This resulted in a voltage looking
correct with a sign change.
The board was fixed and the fast T was moved back to
channel 0. The data collected since the being of ops2
should be ignored upto this time, 3:30Z.

Flow time delay testing for conditional sampler.
Saturday morning the conditional sampler was powered up and
"rserial" adressed vi the Toshiba as cosmos 201.
The system checked out and was tested for time delay
using the fast SF6 sensor.
The 1/8 inch swage was disconnected from the bulkhead on
the inside of the case for the A or down or v3.
The 1/8 inch line could be T'ed into the inlet of the analyser.
The SF6 fast calibration solenoid could be T'ed into the intake.
The SF6 mode indicator was modified to be a fast channel
Five runs were made with the SF6 directly into the analyser
and five runs with the SF6 flowing first through the
conditional sampler.
The difference between the time delays was derived to give
the conditional sampler delay.

ADAMS UP WITH OLD DATEL:
The adams have been turned off since
15:30z (cosmos up till 16:30z). This was done to
reconfigure the analog cables for the old datel code.

SF6 DELAY TESTS:
Below is an outline of the procedure
to do delay tests for the sf6. To make the job
easier the data rate of the sf6_mode was set to
20hz.
In directory /home/aster/raw_data/flow is
a special archive script which will collect data from
the sf6 signals. This archiver should be run only
during the test. If you don't kill it you will be wasting
disk space.
After data has been collected and the archiver
has been shut down, you can run the script "flow.plot".
This plot will process the data and create an xgraph of
the data. At that point you can interactively expand the
scale and determine the time delay.

Note added 3 Mar 93 by ACD:
The calibration values given here in the logbook for the soil
heat flux plates are those derived from the Apr87 calibration.
The Dec91 values are :
110 G1.8cm blue#band Serial number 87028 42.5 W m-2/mV
111 G2.8cm red#band Serial number 87034 38.0 W m-2/mV
112 G3.8cm yellow#band Serial number 87036 38.2 W m-2/mV
The correct values were used in the actual calculations during FOOTPRINT92.
See also the additional logbook entry commenting on the correctiondue to
the difference of thermal conductivity of the soil, the heat flux plate,
and the medium in which the heat flux plate was calibrated.

Conditional samples settings.
According ti Steve O:
The "sample" for delay corresponds to 0.1 seconds. Hence
y1 generates a delay time of 0.1 seconds. As we determined
that the appropriate flow delay was 0.26 seconds we should
use a value of y3 = 0.3 seconds.
The "sample" for valve cycling time is different. It corresponds
to 0.001 seconds. Hence c1000 will activate each valve
for 1 second and the entire sequence of the three valve sampling
sequentially will take three seconds.
Although in FOOTPRINT92 often ww = 0.6(m.s-1)^2
sigmaw = .77m.s-1
1/2 sigma w = 0.38m.s-1 = 38cm.s-1
Steve believes we should be more conservative and use t20 = 20 cm.s-1
or t30 = 30cm.s-1

The difficulty with the conditional sampling of
sunday evening was that there was a very low flow.
This indicated that possibly the cs was not functioning properly.
Nevertheless the syringes were all analysed (consam 1 through consam15)
The results are entered in the previous note.
With the cs up on the tower and the 1/8 inlet no flow
The cs was lowered and the flow checked.
Connectors rechecked
With a 1 sec cycle and the 1/8 tubing inlet 0.7 lpm through a single tube.
With a 1 sec cycle and the 1/4 tubing inlet 1.7 lpm through a single tube.
With a 1 sec cycle and the inlet inadvertantly removed
0.13 lpm through a single tube.

The system was restarted and a flow check indicated that B and C
were delivering sample air.
C gave 17.5l, B gave 3.5l and A gave 0.25l.

This morning at 08:00 the flow was checked and the power was recycled both
to the board (unplug/replug the serial cable) and
the pump and valves (unplug/replug the dc cable).
The flow was then checked by connection into the bags.
C gave 8l, B gave 3.5l and A gave 0.15l.
The CS was brought down the tower and into the trailer.
Although the box was shut tight there was water inside.
The water was dried and the box sat atop the dirt oven for several hours.

u channel output was 9999 this morning and Tc was
unreasonably large. About 11 am PDT, Gordon checked
the connector on the array and then we re-calibrated
the sonic with the zero wind tubes. This corrected
the problem with the Tc channel, but the u axis
would not calibrate. Then about 1515 PDT, Tony
reconnected that sonic to the conditional sampler
and that appeared to correct the problem with the
channel. However when he disconnected the conditional
sampler for a short period, the problem did not
return (???).
We also had a problem when turning on power on this

250m ati u component started to show broad-band white noise after looking
OK earlier this morning. The problem was corrected yesterday by reconnecting
the conditional sampler to the serial line from the sonic.
This was done again and reduced the noise on the u component to a "normal"
looking signal. The conditional sampler will be taken back to Boulder,
so we connected the conditional sampler serial input from the sonic,
to the conditional sampler's output port on the serial breakout box. This
arrangement also seems to prevent the problem on the ati u component.

Checked the atiK.50.10m sonic with the
oscilloscope and found that the u and
w received pulses are very noisy and
that v looked comparatively good. This
corresponds to the observed quality of
the measured winds.
Gordon climbed the tower to determine
whether loosening and tightening the
sonic transducers would clean up the
bad signals. As he climbed the tower
and it shook, the quality of the u
received pulse varied quite noticeably,
suggesting a poor connection. Unscrewing
and screwing the transducers back in did
not improve the u component pulses and
in the process the upper w transducer
socket came loose from its wiring.
The transducer was very tightly screwed
into its socket. We took the sonic off
the tower to return it to Boulder for
repair and began to move the atiS sonic
to 50m.

- 121: RAD , Site none, Wed 17-Jun-1992 19:08:23 GMT, Checked radiation sensor gains from
Checked radiation sensor gains from
10:45 am PDT to 11:45 am by putting
a ladder at the west end of the sawhorse,
measuring the sensor output at the
black box, and looking at the aster
output on ashow. The gains for the
psp's and pyg's were calculated to be
200 and that for the net radiometer was
100:
sensor output chnl counts gain
------------------------------------
psp.in 7.4 mV 110 9755 200
psp.out 1.0 mV 111 1388 200
pyg.in 1.2 mV 108 1542 200
pyg.out 2.7 mV 109 3620 200
net 42.2 mV 116 27500 100
By comparing to the calibration functions
and the factory calibration, these appear
to be the proper gains.
The maximum incoming solar radiation measured
at 622R today was 1.32 cal/cm^2/min = 921 W/m^2.
This is close to the ASTER psp.in max of
936.5 W/m^2.

Disconnected Pyg.out temperature leads
(12 V, Tdome, Tcase) at the black box
on the end of the sawhorse. From the
voltmeter, this did not appear to
change the pyg.out reading. The rad.soil
S plot also indicates no change in pyg.out.
I was on the ladder at the sawhorse from
11:10 to 11:20 am PDT.

Daily status
There was moderate spiking last night on the
uw.100.10m sonic.
The w channel on the atiS.50.10m sonic is
off scale.
Tsoil.bush looks suspicious; one of the depths
is reading about 10 deg C higher than the rest.
However, looking at fun.tsoil.plot shows that
the 1cm bush temperature heats up sooner in
the morning than any other soil temperature.
This is likely caused by its particular siting.
- 126: SONIC , Site none, Fri 19-Jun-1992 21:12:52 GMT, Replaced crystal on w2 axis of atiS.50.
Replaced crystal on w2 axis of atiS.50.10m.
Found that the inboard, top crystal of the
w axis on the atiS.50.10m sonic was bad.
Replaced it with a spare crystal. The
resulting signal was weak and there appears
to be a large positive offset to the vertical
wind component. Collected a few minutes of
data with the zero wind tube on the vertical
axis from ~ 11:43 pm PDT to 11:45. Find it
in the archived data.

Cosmos crashed at 22:00 jday 171
Probably due to too much testing of xpsyc which eventually
was not disconnecting from the socket successfully.
Restarted cosmos and archiving. Restarted covar. This new
covar is using phase lags for the sf6 channel. It will apparently
need 1.3 Mbyte of main memory to synchronize all channels at cosmos
with a 8.1 sec sf6 phaselag. Wish it luck!
Restarted all by 22:40.
