MDM Trouble Report for 2013 Nov 04

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Adams & Simonian (OSU)
Instrument: OSU

Problem(s) Encountered:
When we went to tune up the instrument rotator angle to 0 with the Rotator GUI before closing up it failed and gave the following error:

couldn't open socket: host is unreachable
couldn't open socket: host is unreachable
    while executing
 socket $server $port 
    (procedure  send  line 33)
    invoked from within
 send 
    invoked from within
 .msm.sendC invoke 
    ( uplevel  body line 1)
    invoked from within
 uplevel #0 [list $w invoke] 
    (procedure  tk::ButtonUp  line 22)
    invoked from within
 tk::ButtonUp .msm.sendC 
    (command bound to event)

We closed and re-opened the Rotator GUI, but the problem persisted.  Fortunately, we are only doing single-slit observations, so the coarse setting of the rotator angle with the hand paddle in the dome is sufficient for our science.
