JSkyCalc Errors

Wednesday, January 8, 2014 2:53 PM

Problem(s) Encountered:

The guider on JSkyCalc was having issues. The software didn''t know where the probe was. Restarting it and trying to update it didn''t work. The only location that was recognized was the origin, but after moving the probe the location would be lost again.


Solutions:

The guider position reported in the JSkyCalc program is unreliable for some reason.  The guider position reported by xmis2 should be correct.  If it''s not, the first thing to try is to cycle the power on the MIS box.  If it still doesn''t work, it''s possible there''s something going wrong in the hardware.
