Can see it timing out and then looping back to try again, this is Randy's modification I think. I didn't see this yesterday. Will wait and see if it continues.

It eventually crashed after 5 loops of waiting for about 600 timeout counts. He needs the memidl source code to get at the root of the crash problem. For now I'll restart the programs. **PSPT PROBLEM**: Thu Jul 20 21:12:04 GMT 2000 Restarted again and it started to go high on the timeout counter again as it does when it stalls. This time I tried typing exp on the PC to force an exposure and that caused the program to continue, so that is a good bandaid fix. Randy mentioned that the program was probably stalling while trying to get an image, so I thought it might help to force the camera to take an image by giving the exp command directly from the PC instead of relying on a command from the Sparcstation to the PC. **PSPT PROBLEM**: Thu Jul 20 21:30:03 GMT 2000 After that exp command the programs progressed correctly, but now it is getting foggy, so I didn't get much data. WEATHER COMMENT: Thu Jul 20 21:33:00 GMT 2000 Fog nearby, shutting down.
