Sondrestrom Lidar Operation Log

Operator(s) : E.Guðmundsson
Purpose : Test of the total system after the move
Date(s) : 001024 - 001025
File(s) : L10240 - L10250
Comments : Fine adjustment of the convergence proving to be difficult on the cource
adjustment on the picomotors. Opened the iris to make convergence adjutment
less critical.

Managed to converge. Halfwave plate adjustment could not be done as the clouds
were to heavy. Things as looking ok!
