OSMOS/4K Chip Readout Failure
Saturday, March 14, 2015 2:08 PM
Problem(s) Encountered:
Never saw any error messages, just a blank quad in every data set.
Starting with image #58 (taken at UT 07:53), the upper right (NW) chip appeared to stop collecting photons. I’ve no idea why this happened (it was an unremarkable star/obsrvation otherwise), but I was able to manually shift all of my targets onto one of the three normally-functioning disks. .
Solutions:
Bad connectivity of the cable attaching the detector to the HE. Replaced locking collar on cable.
