Visit by Ken. Focus box gain seems to be down. Could be degradation of cables between focus box
and electronics in shed. Ken moved some gain from the shed electronics to the focus box. This
resulted in enough signal in the shed for data logging.

Installed version 2.0 of Chip's logging program (Logger) on Sally's PC. Connected telescope detector/integrator
output to A/D which is connected to the PC. One digital control line from the A/D dongle was connected to
the telescope calibration circuit. Data capture was started succcessfully and calibration switching was
tested manually. Need to set up Logger config file for automatic calibration switching. As a test, PC was left
to record data for a few days with dish in resting postion, pointing straight up.
