GE

• Last week:
  • Released LUCI 2.14.12:
    • Catches the Ice Timeout exceptions found in IT 8573.
    • Includes final fixes for IT 8619 (problem centering slit).
  • Added code to LUCI to track Journalizer connections for IT 8529 (Observer GUI stops updating). Not yet deployed.
  • Tested IT 8326 (Pixel Histogram). Could not replicate problem, but added my own notes on Aladin UI oddities.
    • During that testing, found that Aladin still contains some internal deadlocks, which could cause 8355. Investigating.
    • In the process, refreshed my memory on using the Java Console and Debugger to monitor running Java processes. (The process has to be started with monitoring and/or debugging enabled in the first place, which adds a small amount of extra overhead; the live GUIs are not started with monitoring and debugging enabled, but we might want to change that.)
  • Second meeting of the LUCI GUI Working Group.
• This week:
  • Work on Observer Scheduler GUI (IT 8571, 8529).
  • Further research LUCI GUI technologies and update the Plan of Intent.

BM

• Last week
  • set_z0 - no problems
  • Closed IT 8602, moving on from 8556 (interrupted offsets) but will let others close (maybe more to discuss re: skip frames)
  • SetNCPA discussion/save fits file
  • Investigating new offset (IT 8635), ocam boot problems.
  • VM testing (setncpa, RTDB emtpy string issue, gain ramp)
• This week
  • Some test support for Juan Carlos (changing rotation/moving baysides), for IT 8635
  • Put together test version on sxadsec for Shark SetNCPA if they decide to use it ..
  • Need to upgrade ao-supervisor "stable" on all the machines. Will include everything from last weekend's DEC tests except the BCU power up fix (IT 8553)
  • Finish this gain ramp testing finally ...
