Guider/spar COMMENT BY lisapg: Wed Oct 07 16:59:50 GMT 2026
This morning when I got the guider on Sun, the voltage in the SGS GUI started tanking even though the RA and DEC were tracking fine (no oscillation). No idea why the voltage started heading to zero but restarting the SGS GUI did not fix it, nor did completely shutting down labview. After restarting SGS GUI, the spar started to oscillate and swapping from standby to close loop fixed it; this also fixed the guider voltage from tanking as it immediately started to climb again after I verified the oscillation had stopped. No idea what happened or how it got fixed.
