MDM Trouble Report for 2012 Nov 06

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Kathy Vivas (Michigan)
Instrument: CCDS

Problem(s) Encountered:
At the beginning of the night I found that the guide probe did not move. I tried 
sending it to  Origin  at the xims. It did not move either by giving values of dx and dy 
in xims. It did not move either when selecting a guide star in JSkyCal and pressing 
Move Guide Probe. Bob guided me via phone to re-starting xims. Didn't work. Then,
he told me to turn off the electronic box in the back of the computer room. 
This finally worked and the probe started to move again. 

The problem repeated around 1am. I follow the same procedure and it did not 
give more problems during the rest of the night.

The message that appeared in the xims window when I tried to move the probe was:

Warning: Not at Y CCW limit
