The last time this happened, I had started up in the same polarization state; bright, dark, mid, mid. Idling the instrument for a minute to see if I can 'fix' it. ___end___ Sun Dec 06 18:38:47 GMT 2015 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY waters: Sun Dec 6 18:41:28 GMT 2015 After restarting the computer, I was able to get the correct polariztion state: Mid, bright, dark, mid.
