COMMENT: Mon Mar 13 19:32:03 GMT 2000 Guider declination reset itself while I was at GONG shelter =( Used opportunity to reconfigure dome shutter after I returned and discovered the guiding reset. Repointed spar and reset declination.

I did not notice when it began doing this or if it just went there and got stuck--I was on the phone with Liz setting up Agents in the new time card web page. PSPT was finished with the series and last image was fuzzy and fcs position was 52, request was 2000. I tried checking status, home=0, pos limit=1, neg limit=0, and axis 6 status indicated STOP_EVENT...HOME SWITCH ON. I ran thru the other exercises and the fcs did move off the 52 position and I reset it at 500 after clearing the status with "axis 6 limit off" command. This exercise showed that the focus mechanism was not stuck, it could be moved once the limit status were cleared. **PSPT PROBLEM**: Mon Mar 13 22:09:03 GMT 2000 At 2200, PSPT started up. At the fcs goto blue request, position started running into negative territory. I did not hear any motors trying to move. position value kept incrementing in the negative direction until I stopped it with a C. Checked states and status. Home=1, Pos limit=1, Neg limit=1. Status=STOP_EVENT...SOFTWARE NEGATIVE LIMIT REACHED. I cleared the event and tried reset axis 6, but the position number ran away, continuing in the negative direction. Stopped again with C. Unsure how to proceed from here so stopped with Obs/exit. I will think about this a bit. **CHIP PROBLEM**: Mon Mar 13 22:17:01 GMT 2000 Missed the OK button on the Waiting window and hit Spectrum. Trying to abort this.

Message was "RUNNING...OK". In checking different axis 6 parameters, I noticed that the position values were increasing toward zero each time I looked. fcs is running up toward zero, but the motor is NOT running. This is happening in sortware, I suppose.
