OWL failure
Friday, October 8, 2021 11:58 AM
Problem(s) Encountered:
Shortly after 01:00, the CCD stopped taking data. Owl error messages included Not connected to any controller!
Various attempts to restart Owl or the controller were unsuccessful.
Solution:
Tried the usual button pushing on the Owl GUI from home before resigning myself to a morning trip to the mountain. Power cycled the CCD controller but problem persisted. Removed and reseated fiber connections (both at controller and PC). This corrected the problem.
