WD	Discuss vacuum pump control and telemetry with Will and Brad	June 10, 2021	Will look at javascript packets with hope of intercepting.
SG	Tell Brad webcam usr/pwd	June 10, 2021	Now on SSL network, should be accessible from kpf-asl-prime
All	SBIG SDK discussion	June 10, 2021	SDK: https://cdn.diffractionlimited.com/dlapi/md_quickstart.html Brad’s note about shorter MTBF I noticed this line: “Note: This API does not support legacy SBIG ST-, STL-, STX-, STXL- and similar cameras supported by the SBIGUDrv.”
All	kpf-asl-prime package installation	June 10, 2021	Steve did a bare-bones CentOS 8.3 install (adding GNOME and cmd line/GUI RAID software). Goal was to do minimum to get it running and on network. Different than kpf-server which was built up at UCSC June 11: Agreed to just add packages as needed ( and track them).
WD	Log file on kpf-asl-prime	June 1, 2021	I could not persuade selinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) to allow rsyslog to write to our standard log locations $KROOT/var/log/. I will have to ask Steve Allen to assist with sorting that out. Temporarily, I have left the computer in “Permissive” mode [ie, selinux is not enforcing its strict security rules] so that rsyslog can write to the Kroot directory.
BH	Send Vaisala, Intensity Monitor to SSL	June 10, 2021	I think these are ready to go?
WD	Send Eaton PDU to SSL?	June 10, 2021	If not still needed, of course!
BH	Send back 3rd NUC
SG	Finalize Instec wiki device page	June 10, 2021	Steve working on command list
SG	Discuss prioritizing Instec telemetry	June 10, 2021	Currently not in use with cryostat, but will be in a couple/few weeks.
WD	webKTL installation	June 10, 2021	Will allow us to monitor and control our devices
WD	Agitator run instructions (superceded by webKTL interface?)	June 10, 2021	After I finish the reconfig, the command line use will be: To Start: put it into jog mode, and set speed: modify -s kpfmot agitmod=jog agitspd=1000 (or whatever) <do something to home, gotta think about this, because we don’t actually care about a home> To Stop: modify -s kpfmot agitmod=halt What’s missing from the above: we don’t have a definition of 'homing', but the software requires being homed. Let’s discuss tomorrow. Caution: initially, don’t command motion w/o being present, to confirm that it’s moving smoothly and not vibrating.
SG	Finalize ethernet layout diagram	June 10, 2021	Add webcam in crypt going to ops network; answer computer port questions
SG	Add Aux rack to diagram here: SSL Network Details	June 10, 2021

WD	KFP history (telemetry) on kpf-asl-prime	June 1, 2021	The kpf history (telemetry) service is installed and running. But it needs additional services added to its configuration; currently it’s monitoring just kpfpower and kpfmot.
WD	kpfmot consolidation	June 1, 2021	The kpfmot service now incorporates all motion-control components: currently it contains the agitator controls, the source shutter controls, and the thorlabs filterwheel control.
WD	set up kpf-asl-prime as our main server	June 1, 2021	kpf-asl-prime is more-or-less ready to do all its functions as instrument server. The daemons that Brad created for kpf-server, are now installed on kpf-asl-prime. Both of the KPF servers know where these services run — that is, you should be able to do a “gshow -s servicename …” and be able to monitor keywords from anywhere. The KPF master start/stop script knows about the history service, the Galil’s, and the filterwheel
