NOTE: KD - Again for this day, tapes are numbered in sequence instead of by date. Obs error. 05/07/01/ 12:27:08 -- Advanced Stokes Polarimeter Observer's Log oscar:/d/asp/Logs/01.05.07_1 Operator: Leka Other observers: Gilliam/Hegwer Bert wavelength: 630 BERT DET_A Tape: CO 10507-0 BERT DET_B Tape: CO 10507-1 CCD4 Pixel Vision, Tape VTT1028 - append to file 12 3.887 gig left on tape CCD7 Spectral Inst, Tape VTT1029 - append to file 12 3.102 gig left on tape Note: Laser profiles from yesterday (5-6-01) were done using a 1/2 wave plate to balance signals for both A and B chip. We will repeat these profiles today with out the wave plate. This should cover all bases 'we hope'. We will repeat the profiles in the same order starting at ND of 5.0 and moving at .5 steps. Our reason for using the 1/2 wave plate is because of complaints in the past about A and B signal variations during the laser profiling.
