Day 26

Morning
With EBW 4 upgrades going, I was in the office working on a few projects. I emailed David and got the SLC 150 programs for EBW 1, 2, and 3 by lunch. I can start looking through those to figure out what the MicroLogix 1100's will need. I also gave my S8 drawings to Matt for a final check off. Spend a large piece of time working on the beam pattern design. I got out the old TI 83 and started plotting parametric equations to see what the patterns would look like. By lunch, I figured I could get away with using sines and cosines with cosine terms in the amplitude to get more oscillations.

Afternoon
Continued to work on the beam patterns, but got a little bit more set on what I was doing. I found the form of the equations that I wanted to use, and got the patterns that would be useful. I also took some ideas I found on the web and worked them in. I'll need to write this all into a PLC. I also got the okay from Matt and Tony, so I sent the S8 drawings off to the drafting office. Finished off the day by watching NorthWest Industrial lift the new transformer above 4.
