OSMOS IE hung

Friday, June 3, 2016 12:48 PM

Problem(s) Encountered:

When moving filters and disperser for a new object, OSMOS stopped responding.  Any filter change command just ran silently and never terminated.  I tried restarting the IC and all the various operations windows, but could not restart the instrument.


Solutions:

Found the OSMOS IE terminal window missing and Prospero in some sort of limbo.  ^C and quit Prospero then opened the OSMOS IE terminal.  Opened Prospero and attempted a startup.  Very early into the startup procedure, the OSMOS IE terminal indicated a segmentation fault and started a 10-down countdown followed by closing the terminal window.  ^C and quit Prospero again then power-cycled the IE (IEB), black box on the north side of OSMOS (switch on the east).  Back at the workstation, opened the OSMOS IE terminal window and Prospero.  Had no issues when doing a startup.  Took a test frame and all is working fine.
