Power cycling it to see if that helps. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY lisapg: Wed May 25 16:41:50 GMT 2022 Sky is a bit too bright to start up, waiting for better conditions before starting. ___end___ UCoMP COMMENT BY lisapg: Wed May 25 17:08:14 GMT 2022 Besides getting the Cropico box to actually respond (it seemed it crashed and wasn't responding to input), the power cycle did not fix the read outs and they are all still reading zero. Going to check the cabling upstairs. ___end___ Wed May 25 17:36:25 GMT 2022 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Wed May 25 17:37:47 GMT 2022 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol **UCoMP PROBLEM COMMENT BY lisapg** : Wed May 25 17:45:57 GMT 2022 Checked the cables outside the UComp box upstairs and nothing seemed amiss.
