May Status
Work on the MARS software shifted to getting data stored in a database as opposed to the individual daily files that have been common for MARS softwares.  Storing the data in a database allows a vastly improved abilitity to plot the data.  Once the proper way to store and plot the data for one application is completed, moving this functionality to all the different software functions will be relatively easy.

The new DCS machine has been functioning well.  It currently provides DNS support, Nagios monitoring, 1 PPS time sync, EOI monitor support as well as the out of bounds support that is only used when MARS is having network problems.

The last couple of weeks have had a horrible amount of updates.  No more was one batch completed then another batch came out.  Added on top of that, was IS's decision to update Symantic.

Some effort was spent supporting the upcoming hydrophone deployment.

The final purchasing effort went well, but took some time.  Below is a summary of what was spent:
Monoprice	Misc cables adapters	 $        681.98 	
Cables and Kits	Cisco stuff	 $    2,473.32 	
Noyes Test Kit	Optical pair	 $    2,703.08 	
Digikey	UPS, Power Strips	 $    1,439.36 	
Grainger	Gloves, hook	 $    1,593.95 	
Mcmaster	Misc cables adapters	 $    1,867.44 	
Tiger direct	Monitors	 $    1,248.36 	
Grainger	Glove Protectors	 $        839.08 	
Mcmaster	Misc  	 $        420.82 	
	 		
		 $  12,846.57 	
All items are suppose to be in by the end of the week, with some having already arrived.

We have the open work order for the added power in the MARS lab.

Charlene is working the date for the replacement of the air conditioners.  I plan on doing some EOI maintenance while MARS is done (SW ground measurements, blow out HV power supply, verify safety ground connections).  We should get a six to eight weeks advanced warning on the date.
