MDM Trouble Report for 2014 Dec 19

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Terndrup (OSU)
Instrument: Andor

Problem(s) Encountered:
1) Guider hung up shortly after the start of the night.  Restarting the Maxim DL
software yields the following error message upon trying 'Connect':

  Error initializing camera or filter wheel
  Error opening camera
  The camera settings are incorrect

2) About 10:45, Andor stopped responding.  I tried a couple dozen times unplugging
the USB cable and putting it back in, and every time I got:

   USB Device Not Recognized
   One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned ...   (etc.)

After about an hour or so of fiddling, I found my troubleshooting powers were not
working.  I'll be glad to play with things during the day Saturday if I can get advice
about what to try by email.  Thickening clouds were, in any case, going to cause
problems soon, so I probably did not lose too much time.
