Yesterday, I spent a lot of my time handling and fixing MoLa and the AMS. No, I'm not in Spain, I'm still in old, gray and cold Germany. Nonetheless, I did "fix" MoLas instrumentation at least three times ....
In the morning, I got a call from Sarah-Lena. She asked me to send here a software for logging the measurements of on of MoLas instruments, the CPC (Condensation Particle Counter), since the software we used on the way to Spain has some serious issues ...
An hour later, I got a call from Frank. They had tried to install the software and only than found out, that the computer port (COM) used by the instrument was not supported by the software. So, I had to tell Frank remotely (without seeing the screen or anything), how he could change it.
Why all the trouble? Cause the Domino campaign is over, and MoLa's on the run again, heading back to Germany. The new MoLa crew left the site and Huelva anytime in the early afternoon. Shortly after they were passing Huelva, I got the next call. Again, they had acquaintance with the bumpy roads of Spain. Which the AMS doesn't like ...
And, guess what? Yes, it was not the last call, and it was not the last bump they hit. Around 5 p.m., the next call. Although I was "misplaced", when that call arrived. ;-)
Fortunately, Sarah-Lena has now all the experience she needs, because she encountered all problems that occurred on the trip to Spain in one day. And even better, since they'll head towards Madrid tomorrow, the streets will be getting better. Hopefully ... ;-)
