Mode26 rang up: this is one that is known to require some phase tweaking over long locks. Due to road conditions, there wasn't an operator here at the time so the usual phase changes didn't happen.

Note About Fast Shutter Issue above mentions it was in Error, and Cheryl resolved it.  Just wanted to make a note about this since it will happen again.  Sometimes the HAM6 Fast Shutter trips.  When it does, we have a command in our ISC_LOCK scripts which tests the Fast Shutter.  So, until we get to that Fast Shutter Test, the shutter will stay in this Error State.  Fearing the Shutter was down, Fil went out to check on the Power Supply for the Fast Shutter--it was on and operational. 

Once Cheryl took H1 to a state where the test was run, the Error went away.  This was marked for about 10min of downtime as CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE, and an FRS (#6917) was filed.
