Tuesday – 07/13/2010

Downloading data from the loggers collected last night, too much rain to download in the field. Morning objectives are to:

  1. return the loggers to the towers,
  2. double check some Trupulse azimuth measurements,
  3. get another 3 hours of GPS points (T3),
  4. Verify BF3 data once it is downloaded (seems to be taking 2-3 hours to download, a ton of data). BF3 data has passed the test, see Figure below.
  5. Following this I will finish the leaf oven and dry the desiccant. Update: completed.

Update: Well, the data from the CR10x was gibberish. Apparently something went wrong with the memory. Talked with Campbell and we reformatted the memory module and replaced the lithium battery (which I had to drive to Hilo to find), now it seems to be working fine. Will reinstall it tomorrow morning. The Trupulse mounting system finally shipped today and should be arriving on Wednesday. Also changed the desiccant packs which were surprisingly completely spent.

How beautiful is a CR10x mother board!
