19:00 : Started settings.
19:22 : Started scan on 3C286 for ~ 12.348 min.

19:40 : '/odisk/gtac/cmd/34_110/31may18/obs.cmd' command file started.

19:52 : MSEB power resumed.

20:16 : Restarted command file.
21:05 : Stopped command file due to continuously high temp in correlator room and so halted GSB (GSB data acquisition stopped).

21:11 : Restarted command file with GWB backend only.
