MDM Trouble Report for 2011 Aug 30

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Nathan Utterback (Dartmouth)
Instrument: Red4k

Problem(s) Encountered:
Several times throughout the night, the telescope would be somehow become disconnected from the TCS interface, and would not move through the manual paddle or any of the TCS commands. One of the times that this happened, the rKludge program sent an error message, however, no message was provide any of the other times. To get around this, we disabled all the running programs on McGraw and Hill, restarted Hill, and launched all of the programs again. This happened about 3-4 times throughout the night, always after being given a point or home command through TCS.
