MDM Trouble Report for 2016 Nov 30

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Neustadt (Dartmouth)
Instrument: Templeton

Problem(s) Encountered:
Every time i tried binning 4x4 and then take an exposure, I would
get an error saying  ERROR - read image timed out, ERROR - no 
image file saved.  Use  buffer dump  to rescue image data 

then if I tried to re-expose, I would get another error
 ERROR- not connected to any controller! 

I was able to get out of this error by resetting the connection
via  setup , but I wasn't able to properly bin 4x4.  I just
kept getting the same loop of errors.


When I was closing up for the night, when the dropleaf closed,
TCS read out an error saying  ERROR - dropleaf adam set digit
error .  After that, I was unable to control the dome.  i tried
closing the slit and opening the dropleaf, but none of my commands
seem to be recognized by TCS (thetext on the session log was black,
no blue text).  I even tried  tx slit close dammit , but that 
didn't work.  I tried quiting and reopening TCS, but that 
had no impact.  in the end, the 2.4m observers had to close 
the slit for me (the dropleaf wasstill closed)
