The following commands were issued for this test: wait.time=30 bqttag.time=03/266/17:35:00 mirror.occpos=42302.mirpos=20723.abs wait.time=22 bqstrt The test failed with a Time Tag Expired error dialog and FLTERR = TTAG EXPIRE. First wait was too long and the Tag time passed before the wait had completed. Also received error message: NTEXBQ has changed. Wait for associated Expected() may never end! three times on UTOCC screen.

The following commands were issued for this test: wait.time=11 bqttag.time=03/267/18:05:00 mirror.occpos=42302.mirpos=24994.abs wait.time=20 bqstrt bqttag.time=03/267/18:10:00 mirror.occpos=42302.mirpos=26715.abs wait.time=25 The test was successful as a result of increasing Day of Year (DOY) by one (1). All commands were executed in the order sent (except for bqstrt, which as an Interactive Queue command, executed first).

The invalid command set did not execute, though without producing any error dialog or FLTERR = TTAG EXPIRE errors (the only error message received was on UTOCC screen: NTEXBQ has changed. Wait for associated Expected() may never end!)

Goal is to measure the properties of a non-polar coronal hole. In particular we are interested in the coronal conditions (intensities and line widths for HI Ly-alpha and OVI 1032/1037) as a function of height and latitude. We will compare these properties with the ones found in polar coronal holes. Roll positions are VL-corrected for PA=268 degrees.
