UPDATE ! AV301 : SYSTEM IS RELEASED FOR USE – WITH A CAVEAT

There are two problems we are trying to troubleshoot that are of a sporadic nature.  As I write this, when a user logs in, everything might proceed as normal (including the UDRIVE mount).   It is also possible that the acquisition ends with an error message. In either case, the best recourse to pin down the […]

ALERT ! SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE THIS WEEK – UDRIVE MIGRATION PLAN

A quick recap :  Currently, the AV301 system has been operating with the new paradigm of directly writing NMR data into UW cloud storage called ‘udrive’, for about six months now. We wanted to use this as a test bed to squash out inevitable bugs when moving to a new technology such as this. Moving […]

ALERT ! AV301 – NETWORK ERROR

Connectivity to the systems outside NMR lab is disrupted.  I will try to fix it remotely if feasible.  If not, one of us need to get to the system physically to reset the network. Access to the instrument over the weekend might be disrupted owing to this. NMR Facility Manager 4/21/2018
