MDM Trouble Report for 2011 Sep 1

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Paust (Whitman/Dartmouth)
Instrument: Osmos

Problem(s) Encountered:
We ran into a repeatable problem with the IC computer.  After you turn it on, and start the ic program, when you try to take your first image, the write to disk hangs.  Bob refreshed me on how to start everything up at the start of the run and we ran into the problem without knowing it.  Tonight we ran into the problem after each lighting shutdown.  The IC just doesn't sync to Caliban.  Closing all of the interface programs on hiltner, rebooting the IC, and the restarting all the software fixes the problem.  The IC computer was showing write errors and giving specific track/sector/blocks for the errors.
