    Olaf reports:

    in the tests I ran last night, I noticed that some HBA tiles/elements did not accept delays for the analog beam forming. Here is the corresponding output from rspctl --realdelays:

    HBA[66].real delays= ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
    HBA[67].real delays= ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
    HBA[96].real delays= ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
    HBA[97].real delays= ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
    HBA[160].real delays= 204 212 220 228 188 196 200 208 172 180 184 ??? 156 160 168 176
    HBA[161].real delays= 204 212 220 228 188 196 200 208 172 180 184 ??? 156 160 168 176
    HBA[166].real delays= 204 212 220 228 188 196 200 208 172 180 184 ??? 156 160 168 176
    HBA[167].real delays= 204 212 220 228 188 196 200 208 172 180 184 ??? 156 160 168 176

    In other words 66/67,96/97 did not work at all, and 160/161,166/167 had problems with one element. I tried it again by going back to swlevel 0, but to no avail.

    [Note:] This was testted after directly switching to rcumode 5, i.e. going to swlevel 3, defining a beam and then testing after BeamControl is done setting everyting up. No tests with first going to rcumode 5 and testing the analog beam forming after the tiles have been in switched on for a while was done. (See 26th November 2012.)

    HBA Modem-Tests:

    In all tests I did, we had:

    HBA[66].real delays= ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
    HBA[67].real delays= ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
    HBA[96].real delays= ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
    HBA[97].real delays= ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
     

    In the first part of modemtest, also those two consistently showed up:

    HBA[26].real delays=   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10  11 ???  13  14  15  16
    HBA[27].real delays=   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10  11 ???  13  14  15  16
    HBA[166].real delays=   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10  11 ???  13  14  15  16
    HBA[167].real delays=   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10  11 ???  13  14  15  16

    In other tests they were fine.

    Talking to ASTRON:

    Apparently all HBA's were working during the stationtest on 30.1.2013.
