The FFTS2 can be used with the 1-2 GHz IF receivers. |

The DSOS control software has been upgraded to version SEP11.
There is no observer-visible changes. It is now able to deform
the dish using Zernike polynomials for engineering
purposes. |

FTS holography measurements using a new Linux data acquisition
computer was successful! |

The /JPL_HORIZONS option of the UIP's PLANET command has been
fixed. It was broken due to a change on the JPL end. |

System update - updated the observatory default GILDAS to
apr11h. This fixed the NEW command bug in CLASS. |

System update - now the UIP runs on the 64-bit Linux. This change
should be mostly transparent to observers. Some minor issues in the
GILDAS package compiled by gfortran have been found and reported to the
developers, however. Specifically, in CLASS, newly arrived scans via the
NEW command can not be read by the GET command, unless the data file is
reopened by the FILE IN command. Alternatively, the data can be read and
processed normally from Lapakahi, which will keep to run the 32-bit
GILDAS compiled by g95 until the issue is resolved. |

The FFTS1 header format has been changed. Now the RCHAN is "virtual"
and points to where RESTF, IMAGE, and VOFF should be. |

The DSOS control software has been upgraded to version AUG11. It adds
DSOS power supply control and monitoring capability as well as a way to
adjust the position of each panel on the fly for OOF holography test
measurements. The new software is already in user visitor's command
search path. To program and turn on the PSUs, first manually turn on
the main switches on the left side of each PSU, then use the DSOSpower
program to activate them. To shut down the PSUs, run the DSOSpower
command, wait for the PSUs to go standby, then manually turn off the
main switches. |
