Hung xmis2

Problem(s) Encountered:

At the end of the night, I tried to move the MIS finder mirror into place, but it froze and would not move.

This attempt was using the interactive MIS window on hiltner.  I then attempted to issue the command into Prospero and got the following result:

ERROR:  Could not move MIS finder mirror


Solutions:

Found the xmis2 GUI hung.  Used mdmTools to stop the process.  Restart and initialize.  Finder moves correctly--verified motion on the motor when commands issued--from the GUI.  Also verified that the finder moves when command mirror out is issued.  

I noticed that the prospero status window was blank.  Issuing the command status clear brought that back up.
