Punch List - Citation Aircraft Instrumentation

Before Next Flight

  • Fix the Cloud Droplet Probe probe wiring so the M300 gets data.
  • Check the Cloud Droplet Probe with 15 and 30 um beads.
  • Install new chips in the CPI serial data card. Check to see if probe works.
    • New chips were installed but did not fix the problem. Will try switching out the board.
  • Fill the CPC with alcohol.

Before Field Project

Hardware (Aaron, Kirk, etc.)

  • Switch the seat belt in Observer seat to a longer one from one of the spare seats.
  • Check the power budget. On April 13 flight, AC Inverter 3 was drawing > 9.5 amps while Inverter 4 was only drawing 2 amps. Maybe we should move either the 2-DC or CIP to Inverter 4 from Inverter 3.
  • The CPC flow rate on the A/D board is backwards (negative). Switch the wires around and check that the voltage is positive when the CPC is on.
  • Install extension tube for CPC fill tube.
  • The TDL 2F A/D reading doesn't seem correct. Either the wire is connected backwards or not connected at all.
  • Fix the labels on the back rack.

M300 Computer (David)

  • Fix the automatic naming of file in the M300 so to match the UND standard.
  • Allow the timesync.awk to run as bypass user.

M300 Tables, Calibrations, and Check List (Andrea)

  • Change check list to indicate that m300 software should be started with the 'go' command.
  • Determine Honeywell Wing Transducer calibration, and update Wiki page and software with calibration value.
  • Update the M300 Table so that the CPC mass flow rate is taken from the Mass Flow Meter.
  • Add convection of the Mass Flow rate to a volumetric flow rate. Use volumetric flow rate to calculate CPC concentration.
  • Add real time wind calibration to M300 table.

Hardware - Long Term

  • Have figured out the type of character generator, camera and DVR to get.
    • Task: Purchase and Install forward looking Video Camera.
  • Task: Raise the Flight Scientist Monitor
