dust monitors
Last Friday I spent most of the morning compiling, testing and modifying the code to read and control the dust monitors. This interrupted the data read from end X. I ended up reverting back to the old code sometime before 12:30 PM.

Today I spent most of the morning doing the same, except it interrupted the data read from end Y. I ended up reverting back to the old code around noon.

This afternoon Michael R. swapped the dust monitor in the H1 PSL Anteroom (LVEA location 16), to investigate if the high counts for particles > .3 microns read last night might be due to an error in the instrument. I ended up restarting the code for all the dust monitors in the LVEA after this was completed.

I received an error trying to plot the particle counts, so I do not have plots to attach yet.
