Jamason Subject: Firmware upgrades, misc. Subject: Firmware upgrades, misc. Dear Colleagues, Several receiver swaps and/or firmware upgrades have occurred over the past few weeks at SCIGN sites. In order to be compliant with the GPS week rollover occurring in August, Ashtech Z-XII3 receivers in the network must possess CC00 firmware. Swaps and/or upgrades have been performed at the following sites: azu1,tabl,clar,lbc1,lbc2,bran,pvep,dyhs,pmhs,bkms,vyas,spms,lphs,holc Please consult the SOPAC log archive for effective dates and receiver serial numbers. Upgrades will be performed throughout the network over the next several weeks. Other network information: An antenna swap was performed at Palomar Mountain (pmob) on 25-JUN-1999. The new antenna is an ASH700936E_C, SN CR14733. The old antenna was not tracking. An antenna swap was performed at Lake Skinner (bill) on 10-JUN-1999. The new antenna is a milled unit, newly manufactured by Ashtech. Part number is 701945-01, Rev. B; SN CR519991705. An IGS antenna code for this model has not been assigned yet and therefore the log has not been updated. Data are missing for the Azusa (azu1) site for days-of-year 168 to 175. A teacher leaving for the summer accidentally powered down the site. Data are missing for the China Lake (coso) site for days-of-year 150 to 163 due to ftp connection problems. Finally, new logs have been generated directly from the SOPAC Database for the entire SCIGN network. These logs have a slightly different format from the standard IGS template. Please note that the contents of the SOPAC Database for the SCIGN network are avaiable via a web-based Site Information Manager, v0.7. Documentation and user access are available on-line at http://lox.ucsd.edu/whatsNew/. Any feedback and/or identification of errors are appreciated. The site logs are available via ftp from: ftp://lox.ucsd.edu/pub/docs/site_logs/ and from the web at: http://lox.ucsd.edu Thank you, Paul ------------------------------------------------------------ Paul F.
