GPT & BLC Testing

22:05 UTC Begin equilibrating 100 ppb NO @ 5000 sccm with 15.7% lamp O3 (nominally 50 ppb in 2500 sccm)

00:06 UTC Begin NOxy cal GPT point

00:17 UTC Not much NO2 generated (if any), increased O3 to 18.1% lamp (nominally 100 ppb in 2500 sccm) to see the response

00:38 UTC Increase O3 lamp to 19.8%, some increase in NO2 (~3 ppb) between previous level and the first

01:10 UTC Unplugged power from BLC, NOx dropped ~3 ppb

01:22 UTC Plugged BLC power back in, no change

01:28 UTC Replugged BLC power, lamps back on

01:31 UTC Start zero air

01:38 UTC Resume sampling

HONO Cal Test #1

At 20:08 LT to 21:05 LT (03:08 -04:05 UT) spiked zero air flow (4 lpm) with approximately 20 cc/min of HONO cal. Looked like HONO cal flow had some NO and NO2 in it.

Also saw flow drop rapidly over time. Patrick thinks that needs to swap out critical orifice for MFC. Going to do that and then re-try this on Monday night.

iBoot Problems

iBoot for Gases PC kept rebooting every 5 minutes between 9:40AM and 12:00PM LT (02:40-1900 UT). Resulted in almost 30 individual 3 minute files. This was the time we were at the RV Atlantis. Not sure why iBoot stopped accepting ip ping. Disconnected iBoot and running DF without it.

Plugged in iBoot and seems to be working just fine right now. But can not trust it anymore.

Installed new capillary in NOx inlet

At 16:10UT

Replaced stock capillary 4126 20 mil, blue with 7336, 18 mil, blue/purple dot.

Now pressure is closer to 266 mmHg

also good time to do another span.

Swapped inlets and serial cables NOx and NOy

AT 15:17UT shut down NOx (42i-TL 601052) and NOy (42C-TL 325126).
Switched inlet lines (with capillary) attached.
Also switched data cables.

Restarted both instruments 15:21UT

Now pressure is better in NO 42i-LT instrument close to 200 mmHg.
However, pressure is too high in NO 42C-TL.

Probably need to change capillary in NOx inlet as low sensitivity (high pressure) seem to be associated with this system.

Trailer Temperature

Group from UCalgary Lowered Trailer Temperature Thermostats down to 70F on E side of trailer and 67F on West site of trailer. Did this on the evening of 25 May.

Need to keep a careful eye on changes in instrument calibrations. Also worried about it raining inside trailer.

Wondering if we have a way of monitoring trailer temperature easily in DF?

SO2 inlet disconnected for CU SO2 cal cylinder tests

Tested nominal 100 ppbv SO2 cylinder from CU (Jimenez Group) for Amber Ortega.

Disconnected sampling inlet at 21:00 UT
Reconnected sampling inlet at 21:45 UT

Also helped calibrate CU 2B Tech Ozone instrument with multipoint O3 calibrations.

TSI Network Setup Instructions

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
TSI_IP_address This is the new address that you’re assigning to the TSI.
If you have set up the TSI to run with a standalone PC,
you can just increment the IP address of the network
card in your local PC by one: 192.168.0.2, to continue
our example. Otherwise, check with your network
administrator before assigning a new address, to avoid
selecting an address already assigned to another device
on your subnet.

Note that the network portion of the IP address,
192.168.0.x, must be the same for both the TSI and the
local computer. The last part, x, which refers to the host,
can be any value from 1 to 254 that is not already in use
on the network. In our example, host 1 is already
assigned to the local computer so we use host 2 for the
TSI.

TSI_hardware_address This address is printed on the label on the network hub
inside the TSI main enclosure. Each TSI has a unique,
fixed hardware address in the format xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx;
for example, 00-40-8c-10-00-86. The address is
hexadecimal and case sensitive. Take care to enter it
exactly, including the hyphens, and be sure to
distinguish between the number zero (0) and the letter
O.

Local_PC_IP_address This is the IP address you just assigned to the network
card in your PC. In our example, we used 192.168.0.1.

Follow these steps to assign an IP address to the TSI:

1. Connect one end of regular ethernet cable to TSI Router Port 2, 3, or 4. Connect other end to PC ethernet port.


2. Make sure that the TSI power switch is illuminated. The red switch is located in the TSI main enclosure.


3. Start a DOS session and type the arp -s command at the DOS prompt, substituting actual values for the variables shown in italics.

Syntax:
C:\>arp -s TSI_IP_address TSI_hardware_address Local_PC_IP_address

Example:
C:\>arp -s 192.168.0.2 00-40-8C-29-0B-0C 192.168.0.1

4. Check the Address Resolution table using the arp -a command. You should see the new IP address assignments. Review the numbers carefully to make sure they match the values you entered in step 2.

Syntax:
C:\>arp -a

Sample Output:
Interface: 192.168.0.1 on Interface 2
Internet Address Physical Address Type
192.168.0.2 00-40-8C-29-0B-0C static
192.168.0.1 00-60-08-15-c1-c9 static

5. Use the ping command to reconfigure the TSI with the new IP address. If you do not see Reply packets, as shown in the sample output, an error has occurred. Start over at step 1. (Note that the time values may be different in your actual output, due to differences in LAN traffic and bandwidth.)

Syntax:
C:\>ping TSI_IP_address

Example:
C:\>ping 192.168.0.2

Sample Output:
Reply from 192.168.0.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
Reply from 192.168.0.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
Reply from 192.168.0.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
Reply from 192.168.0.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32

6. Turn off the TSI (if the standby battery is connected to the TSI, disconnect it by opening the inline fuse).

7. Enter the arp -d command as shown.

Syntax:
C:\>arp -d TSI_IP_address

Example:
C:\>arp -d 192.168.0.2

8. To check the results of the arp -d command, issue the arp -a command again. Note that the address you deleted (192.168.0.2) no longer appears in the
output.

Syntax:
C:\>arp -a

Sample Output:
Interface: 192.168.0.1 on Interface 2
Internet Address Physical Address Type
192.168.0.1 00-60-08-15-c1-c9 static

9. Turn the TSI back on and enter the ping command to verify that the TSI stored the IP address. This will also test communications with the TSI. If you do not see output similar to that shown in the sample, start over at step 1.

Syntax:
C:\>ping TSI_IP_address

Example:
C:\>ping 192.168.0.2

Sample Output:
Reply from 192.168.0.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
Reply from 192.168.0.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
Reply from 192.168.0.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
Reply from 192.168.0.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32

9. Verify that the new IP address now appears in the configuration file; use the arp -a command again.

Syntax:
C:\>arp -a

Sample Output:
Interface: 192.168.0.1 on Interface 2
Internet Address Physical Address Type
192.168.0.2 00-40-8C-29-0B-0C dynamic
192.168.0.1 00-60-08-15-c1-c9 static


10. Disconnect Ethernet cable from PC and TSI.

11. Connect PC ethernet port directly to internet.

12. Connect ethernet cable from TSI Port 5 (network uplink) directly to internet.

13. Cycle Power on TSI.

14. Test TSI is on network by issuing ping command.

Syntax:
C:\>ping TSI_IP_address

Example:
C:\>ping 192.168.0.2

Sample Output:
Reply from 192.168.0.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
Reply from 192.168.0.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
Reply from 192.168.0.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
Reply from 192.168.0.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32

15. Make sure to run TSI Tracker software to set shadowband. Then should be ready to go. Use regular serial cable, not null modem.
