• ifaps1 work
  • checked out the current op tag and the current trunk and compiled for ifaps1 users (the default is the current op tag)
  • cleaned up the ifaps1 machine to get back space
  • answered questions: gaidos, kaller, dixon.
  • transferring the current md04 refstacks to ifaps1
• manoa - checked out the current op tag and the current trunk and compiled for the ipp user.
• addstar
  • edited the db so that addstar is ready to run once the ThreePi db is fixed
• skyprobe
  • relphot - more investigations as to why relphot does not work on skyprobe. investigations with dvo make me suspect astrometry issues.
  • psastro - the sigma_ra is high for skyprobe - tried a number of things to improve this (so far the easiest and best is just increasing the number of iterations from 3 -> 10). For the worst one with an astrometry solution, sigma_ra went from ~4 -> ~.25. About 1/4 or so did not get an astrometry solution, and I am still investigating this.
    • psastro's visual option didn't work for me.
• czar
  • czar friday
  • cleaned up some of the sticky bits using Bill's checkfit and runwarp scripts.
  • investigated the burntool failures on the SAS reprocessing label - they were 0 byte burntool tables.
  • show Serge how to manually queue up a chiprun
  • queued up the oss diffs using a script I wrote. At Serge's request I committed these scripts to tools/heather so others can do something similar.
  • started copying the oss reprocessed warps and chips to /data/ipp005.0/heather/chips.oss133 and warps.oss133. These are the unmagicked ones, the diffs need to be transferred once they are completed.

• Real time burntool: Wrote SQL and perl code to determine what should be done for each exposure known on the summit. This will provide the foundation of the updated registration code that will burntool each exposure as it is downloaded (which will in turn cut many hours out of the summit->processing latency).
• Linearity: Regenerated data using median statistics instead of mean, improving the scatter. Finally discovered that we need to include the best fit bias offset in our correction, and that when this is done, the cell-level correction looks good. Still working on fixing some issues with the sagging edges (most likely a result of outliers).
