|
Will sent me some info on how to install PUEOsim. I attached a markdown file he sent for how to install PUEOsim. He also sent the path to pre-compiled
installation of PUEOsim. Here's the path to the pre-compiled installation: /users/PAS0654/wluszczak/PUEO_shared
Here is his full message, which details that you must also run set_env.sh before running PUEOsim: |

Mon Jun 6 14:19:59 2022, Alex M, Important Runs (2)
|
This is a duplicate post of a previous post from the end of 2020 where I listed the important runs with some of their details in a table (as below).
I am extending this table to include the important runs that have been conducted since this post. This includes the run used for the paper as well as the
curved run done earlier this year. |

|
Today I removed some of the run directories which had very little or no data or weren't worth keeping around. There are still a few that I think
can be removed, but I'm keeping them until we can get a consensus that they can definitely be removed. Below I listed the names and descriptions of
the runs that I think we should definitely preserve going forward. In general, the more data contained in the run directory, the more important it is to |

Fri Apr 8 16:07:22 2022, Alex M, Identical Asymmetric Lowered Length Minimum Run
|
We are trying to do a short run of the asymmetric bicone so that we can see how it tries to evolve the antenna when the minimum length is lowered from
37.5 cm to 10 cm. Currently, there is a problem with the loop in the asymmetric version. Attached is the run detail file. |

|
Here is a PDF with a summary/log of my work trying to integrate an ice shell surrounding the bicone antennas in the GENETIS loop. I made gain
patterns of the ARA bicone with the ice shells and without them, showing the impact of the ice on the antenna's gain. Having an ice shell
changes these patterns, which are also dependent on the radius of the shell. I showed that convergence on the gain patterns and expected features start |

|
In this post, I'm going to give step by step instructions on everything you need to do to run the loop. See Julie's
thesis for the most recent iteration of this manual. Also refer to entry 123 for a list of some errors we have encountered historically in the loop and
how to resolve them, though some fixes may be outdated. |

Tue Aug 9 15:28:50 2022, Ryan Debolt, How many individuals to use in the GA.
|
One of our foundational questions tied to the optimization of the GA has been "How many individuals should we simulate". Up to now, our minds
were made up for us by the speed of arasim being great enough that the time cost of simulating individuals was great enough that the improvements made
from having more were not enough to justify the slowdown. However, with the upgrade to the faster, more recent version of arasim, I decided to re-examine |

Work in progress. Update on H-pol XF design. The first plot is the gain pattern with ferrite rod sets (blue) vs. with nothing but the copper plates.
The second plot is the gain pattern with everything but the ferrite rod sets vs. with nothing but the copper plates.
The ferrite rod sets function to narrow the gain pattern. |

Attached is a .txt file you can find in the Evolutionary_Loop directory as Loop_Error_List.txt. It's a list of the current errors we sometimes experience
in the loop, along with how to fix them if you encounter them while running. If people encounter errors that aren't in the list, let everyone know
in the #genstudents chat on slack and update the file with the error message and when it was encountered (what state the loop was in) and the possible |

|
We want to automate tests in pull requests in GitHub to run unit tests on individual functions to ensure they return the expected results. This will
help prevent bugged code from being pushed to working branches. We will add a list of unit tests to this ELOG as we design them.

Thu Jun 29 12:05:45 2023, Alex M, Gain at various source heights 17x
|
Here are a collection of antenna gain patterns with the antenna power source located at various heights at 500 MHz. The heights are indicated in the
name of the images and were located at 3cm, 6cm, 12cm, and 24cm from the base. One thing to note is that the power source becomes longer as a function
of height (since it's connected to the ridges, which slope back). |

Bicone Loop Status Update:
The loop currently runs; however, it does seem
that if AraSim jobs are left to run while the user is away, it doesn't properly write one or more of the flags, and makes the loop get stuck at |
