Schedules should be kept in most detail here, as the group calendar is often too crowded.

Information on Phase I (past) is below for reference. Jose moved the logistical info below the to-do list on 14-June-08.
 
== To-do List for ARCTAS-2 ==
 
<h3>Instrument - Priority 1 during CARB at Palmdale</h3>
 
* Prepare PCI software for PID controller
* Flight 12 submission
 
* Fri 20-Jun 2008
** Check beam position and width in pre-flight if no problems
 
* Discuss size cut of inlets with Jack Dibb and Rodney
 
* Mike's task list
** Customs list
** Replot timetrace of all flights on "standard format", give copy to Jose for reference)
** Install all plane software on Mike's old laptop, so that his personal laptop can serve as backup for plane laptop in case of catastrophic failure, and test that it works
** Start, mid-flight, and shutdown checklists
** Keep measuring IE/AB over a full day (transient effects)
** Make basic loss calculations (inc res time) on inlet
 
* Stuff we are waiting on
** (Waiting for parts): Install new Omega PID controller for PCI
** (Waiting for ML): Order and ship spare batteries for thermocouple in plane
** (Waiting for parts): Connect exhaust of MD1 when connectors arrive from ML
** (Waiting for Thomas about TPS error message: uups... / data crc / rx error: 5)
** (Waiting for parts from EMCO, and also response from Bill Brooks): Connect multiplier HV supply to hard mirror, so that we can run W-mode in forest fire plumes
 
<h3>Second Priority</h3>
* Think whether to run at higher MCP and lower emission current for forest fires (less chance of missing threshold, reduce change of saturation in fires)
* Investigate how we can refill the lecture bottle (ask Eric Apel)
* Connect UPS software for battery indication
* Fix 12 V power supply in TPS for preamp
* Get an install 2 bike cupholders
 
<h3>Data Analysis to-do (in approx order of priority)</h3>
* Process fast data and resubmit with those
* Re-generate slides from mid-campaign prez with new data
* Generate PToF data:
** Compare to Grimm, LARGE OPC+SMPS, SP2 OPC (>250nm) to evaluate size transmission
** Evaluate whether the different slopes with light scattering are due to size distribution changes (F8)
* Evaluate the O/C data from Allison
* Why are filter levels for Org (maybe also NO3, m/z 16) variable (TO/landing)?
** is it mz29 or 44? Quantify in TT and squirrel
* Implement the time-dependent CO2 and H2O corrections for the flights (or decide that they are not needed)
** We can probably measure frag_org[18] directly in this way
* Use plumes to align our data to others
 
<h3>Post ARCTAS-2</h3>
* Repeat PCI transmission experiment
 
<h3>For Donna (in approx order of priority)</h3>
* Improve Squirreling of the Fast Mode data (F4 and/or F5)
 
<h3>For future campaigns</h3>
* Timetrace of a few HR peaks as in flux mode?
* Test and enable cell-phone filtering
* Put together leak detector with V70, controller, AC MD1, and SRS or Balzers RGA
* Stuff for Joel
** Fix timetrace for Fast mode (SO4 goes down, others go up) -- already told him
** Gaps of 5s in fast timetrace?

<h3>For Donna (in approx order of priority)</h3>
* Send to Jose and Mike a slide with time series and spectra (on/off) from I event
* Show us how to Squirrel the Fast Mode data (F4 and/or F5)
* If time, Squirrel test flights 1 & 2
* Compare our data to various tracers from the plane (use timetrace of Flight 7 or 8 as initial guide of what to plot with what)
<h3>for Jose</h3>
* Evaluate the O/C data from Allison
<h3>For Mike</h3>
* Resubmit flight 4 w/o the filter periods
* Document inlet geometry and lengths, calculate residence time
* Computer control of TD valves
** Test that AMS responds to TD as expected in the ground
** Determine minimal switching time in Fast mode
* Keep adding plane data to timetrace: work on m/z ratios, and add remaining important IWG parameters
** Replot timetrace of all flights on this standard format, give copy to Jose for reference)
<h3>Instrument - High priority</h3>
* Test exhaust line (to LARGE) for leaks
* See whether we can afford extra pumping for increasing bypass or connecting the Grimm after doing this
* Write labels with usual parameters (VB, pumps, PID of PCI...)
* Start, mid-flight, and shutdown checklists
* Install all plane software on Mike's laptop, so that his personal laptop can serve as backup for plane laptop in case of catastrophic failure, and test that it works
* If we can afford the pumping, replumb the Grimm to sample through a critical orifice
** install TSI flowmeter on this pumping line (filter ahead), log flow
<h3>Instrument - Next Flight</h3>
* Test that XChat works in next flight
<h3>Instrument - high priority, but waiting for others</h3>
* (Waiting for Thomas about TPS error message: uups... / data crc / rx error: 5)
<h3>Instrument - medium priority</h3>
* Get an install 2 bike cupholders
* Get soldering iron with a finer tip
* Connect UPS software for battery indication
* Backup all plane software on FTP site (including menus and .set files)
<h3>Data analysis - high priority</h3>
* Evaluate whether the different slopes with light scattering are due to size distribution changes (F8)
* Compare the Grimm OPC with the LARGE OPC and the SP2 OPC for periods of valid Grimm
** SP2 people are very eager to compare with their volume (> 250 nm)
* Compare AMS size distributions with OPC / SMPS, to evaluate size transmission
<h3>Data analysis - medium priority</h3>
* Filter levels for Org (maybe also NO3, m/z 16) are variable in timetrace, check whether also in Squirrel and if so why)
* Implement the time-dependent CO2 and H2O corrections for the flights (or decide that they are not needed)
** We can probably measure frag_org[18] directly in this way
* Use plumes to align our data to others
<h3>Before Summer Campaign</h3>
* Bring 2 sets of 2 MCPs, change them before test flight (2nd set is spare)
* Be ready to submit data 48 hrs after each flight (24 better if possible)
* Fix 12 V power supply in TPS for preamp
* Install HV supply for hard mirrow, so that we can run W-mode in forest fire plumes
* Be ready to intercompare the Grimm immediately after a flight
* Think whether to run at higher MCP and lower emission current for forest fires (less chance of missing threshold, reduce change of saturation in fires)
* Stuff for Joel
** Fix timetrace for Fast mode (SO4 goes down, others go up) -- already told him
** Gaps of 5s in fast timetrace?
** Problem with making servo position > 70
** Timetrace of a few HR peaks as in flux mode?
** Test and enable cell-phone filtering
* Get sufficient spare orifices (300 and 250 nm)
* See if we can buy/lease a spare TPS from Tofwerk
* Bring spare laptop with everything installed, test that everything works, keep in plane
* Make sure we have a spare battery for thermocouple in plane
* Get another He lecture bottle
* Investigate how we can refill the lecture bottle (ask Eric Apel)
* Replace 2 Gast pumps with MD1 AC powered?
** Increase bypass flow on inlet line (now limited to ~2.5 lpm)
** Change our inlet line to 3/8" to allow more flow if possible
* Ask John whether AC-powered MD1 could run AMS (as backup?)
* Put together leak detector with V70, controller, AC MD1, and SRS or Balzers RGA
