Unfortunately the program is set up to take a limb image and save it to tape right after the occulting wheel moves, so those images will look bad.

The Optics field showed Busy, I tried killing the WaitOpti processes and that allowed it to continue a little at a time, but since that doesn't solve the problem I did the same thing I did for the dPMon yesterday. Typed Kill into console window, killed leftover processes (except for Xsun and Camera), then changed tapes and typed Run into the console window and restarted the Patrol program. The program seems to be working now.
