MDM Trouble Report for 2001 Oct 13

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Jacob Noel-Storr (Columbia)
Instrument: CCDS

Problem(s) Encountered:
CCDS started to produce 'Bad' frames - even darks (= thermal
problem that Bob emntioned to me briefly?)... Tried refilling 
dewar and restarting WC/IC

WC gave 'IC -SYNC', tried restarting, restarting IC, restarting
both, restarting caliban & both (IC and Caliban seem 
to start fine), etc... Problem persisted. Prospero would not 
respond. Exited prospero. Restarted. Tried 'Restart' and
'Startup' - neither would work. (Says Ariel not responding, or
WC not responding)

Tried restarting WC again - now WC program stopped booting, and
just return to prompt (on both reseting computer and typing
WC at the prompt to start the program).

At this point I gave up, so prosepro is not initialized and 
the WC computer will not boot.

Also - a side note - the Liquid N2 prssure is very low when
trying to refill the dewar.
