Data acquisition

After the failure of the TurPol computer some time ago it was replaced with an other computer where in principle we should have all the relevant software. However, we still do have the hard disk of the old computer and we could try to recover things but it was not clear if there was anything worthwhile on that disk. The disk is stored and well protected. It was thought that probably most data ever taken with TurPol was on the disk but also likely the observers had copies of all the (reduced) data. We are thinking to just keep the disk stored and only look at it if there is a specific request.

We are still looking for a proper spare for the TurPol computer used to operated the instrument and obtain data. It was agree that we first should define what the specific issues are with getting a proper spare and ask help from Turku.
