Erroneous Encoder Issue Warning

Monday, June 2, 2014 10:56 AM

Problem(s) Encountered:

A TCS message complained about losing connection

with the RA and DEC encoders.  Restart with the levelers was required.


Solutions:

If this was a message along the lines of “RA and/or Dec encoder(s) not responding”, then this is a non-issue—well known although not easily removed.  Thankfully, it does not relate to a real issue occurring.
