Data Impact System Description
78244502 2023 325 10:00 3 99 Station is temporarily out of operation due to schedule infrastructure work on the building that houses the station, which are intended to coincide with the replacement/upgrade of the telescope mount and its control system.
78244502 2022 242 10:00 1 6 Tomorrow 08/30 (242) at 10:00 UTC it is planned to modify the time of flight measurement system. To do this, the Time Interval Unit (TIU), Standford SR620, will be replaced by the Event Timer Unit (ETU), ET032. During the past months ILRS has evaluated our data and has characterized the comparison between both devices with results that show that the TIU (SR620) measures SHORTER than the ETU (A032) by ~10 mm.
78244502 2022 111 10:00 1 8 The SPAD gate cable has been replaced. The calibration value has decreased by 100 ps. The last new mean calibration value is 144530 ps
78244502 2022 055 10:00 1 6 A coaxial cable that belong to the detection pulse system and communicates the photodetector with the CFD is replaced, this modification changed by aprox 1ns the system delay
78244502 2021 347 08:00 3 12 Data related to the meteorological sensors, manufacter and model, have been corrected in the site LOG
78244502 2021 347 08:00 1 5 The pulse width value has been corrected in the CRDs. The correct value is 30 ps.
78244502 2021 331 08:00 1 10 On November 27, Crd v2 file sending starts
78244502 2021 281 10:00 1 10 On October 8, the criterion for generating Normal Points is modified. The minimum number of raw echoes required to generate an NP is reduced from 30 to 3.
78244502 2021 250 10:00 1 10 On September 7 (10.00), the station begins to use the ILRS validated normal point generation program, orbitNP
78244502 2021 141 10:00 2 6.01 A coaxial cable that communicates the SPAD signal with the Standford SR620 counter is replaced, this modification changed by 300 mm the system delay
78244502 2021 138 10:00 0 6.01 A switch, that allows selecting between the two detectors C-SPAD and SP500, have been installed. This modification introduces a slight delay in the calibration value.
78244502 2020 168 00:00 1 8 We detected that in our CRD the flight time was not corrected with the system delay. Also the ToF was not consistent with the flag indicator. On June 16th, we started to send CRDs with this error corrected.
78244502 2018 213 00:00 1 5 Our laser equipment has been replaced by the EKSPLA model PL2251-10-SH (10 Hz - 30 ps).
78244502 2016 289 00:00 2 7824 From Oct 15 onward due to maintenance and lack of supplies we will reduce our weekly schedule to fridays, saturdays and sundays. This will be maintained till new supplies are received.
