Data Not Writing to Disk, revisited

Tuesday, April 16, 2013 3:38 PM

Problem(s) Encountered:

I encountered a problem with Caliban again.  At one point, the last image recorded according to the Prospero Status window was number 466, but by the time I saw that images past number 466 were not being saved, the next image was already supposed to be 522.


I did a runinit in Prospero, keeping the same root filename that I had been using and setting the starting image number to 522.  


After initializing the run, I followed the Caliban window to make sure all the images between 466 and 522 were being retrieved.  


Once I saw that all the missing images had been retrieved and were now located in /lhome/data, I proceeded taking exposures again.  Luckily I was able to retrieve all the missing data.


Solutions:

Performing the following series of commands should clear al image counting buffers, allowing you to start clean:


quit caliban program

quit IC program

restart IC program

restart caliban program
