MDM Trouble Report for 2008 Mar 8

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Andrea Kunder (Dartmouth College)
Instrument: Echelle

Problem(s) Encountered:
This trouble report concerns ccdcom crashing:
I would take an exposure, and right before the read out (after wating ca. 2 min for the data to read out), this message was displayed:
ccd_aread:wrong aio finished; expected 3.  This is bad
*** Error encountered in asynchronous read;
data suspect // Failed, return code = 3899.392, elapsed=112.29299

I am not submitting a trouble report for when I had to re-align the telescope, since it is now resolved, and I followed the instructions in the manual for re-aligning the telescope with the tip/tilt meter.  Please let me know if I should elaborate of fill out a trouble report.  I feel like it was a straight forward problem and fix.  I lost 1.5 hours on this problem.
