WAPP error occured during fits file 0001, but drift ended before we noticed the problem (error occured approx 1 minute before the end of the drift) Error message read: 00:18:05 WARN WAPPDATA flushing 8 dumps 00:18:08 WARN wappdata buildup logic error 00:18:08 WARN WAPPDATA confused cleared 1 dumps 00:18:08 WARN WAPPDATA flushing 76 dumps 00:18:12 WARN wappdata buildup logic error 00:18:12 WARN WAPPDATA confused cleared 3 dumps WAPPs seemed to recover themselves and data in the next fits file looked fine, so we did not adjust power and we did not restart the WAPPs. Calibration will have to be split since fits file 0001 is not large enough. Mikael has this to say about the error: "This was an interesting one. It is definitively not the typical problem. In fact, I don't think there was a WAPP problem at all since the WAPPs kept running and stopped at the same time. I think it was a problem with the data collector/FITS-writer. My theory is that there might have been a network hick-up garbling one of the incoming data blocks thus causing the writer to feel that it was out of sync waiting for a set of data that never arrived."
