The DOS machine says PORT:exp....frame 1, then the next command says PORT:p, error[pspt] unrecognizable command [p]. It repeats this set of commands even when the program on the Sun machine is killed. ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY waters: Fri Jun 27 16:56:21 GMT 2014 When starting the focus gui for kcor, I get an error saying that it can't initialize the cameras. This is what comes up: Source File BFBrdUsr.c Line number 1218 Error Code 4298 Error Text Can't initialize for camera. I checked the cables at the back of Kcor and they all were secured in their seats. ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY waters: Fri Jun 27 17:51:16 GMT 2014 With the help of Ben, I shut down the pc, unplugged the top two of of the four plugs on the top Nema box, plugged them back in, waited about 30+seconds and turned on the labview rack in the top nema box and then powered the kcor pc. Worked like a charm! Excited!! Thank you!! ___end___ Fri Jun 27 17:57:56 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol Fri Jun 27 17:58:35 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol **PSPT PROBLEM COMMENT BY waters** : Fri Jun 27 18:24:28 GMT 2014 Still can't get Pspt past the take 3 dark frames.

An intern from NOAA came up at the invitation from Greg. The next was a father and son, who is getting his merit bag for boy scouts. Unfortunately, due to these tours, I wasn't able to help out Alice as much with trouble shooting Pspt. Alice was able to find a code that she saw and noticed that it wasn't seeing the camera for Pspt even though it said it saw everything. Alice can explain it much better than I, but I did notice looking at the telescope, that one of the connectors looks like it's being pulled more that it should be. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Sat Jun 28 01:20:20 GMT 2014 Unfortunately, due to a time constraint, I won't be able to try and reseat the connector on Pspt. ___end___
