• Problems with shutter

  Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/opt/het/hetdex/src/tcs/trunk/integration/cal.py", line 329, in <module>

  expose( inst, lamp, 'blue', xbin, ybin, cont_lamp_count, custom_exp )

  File "/opt/het/hetdex/src/tcs/trunk/integration/cal.py", line 141, in expose

  File "<string>", line 3, in expose_method

  pytcs.error: remote exception: remote exception: Timeout occurred while waiting for shutter to open }}}
  

  Remedy:

  • on tcs mcs gui goto the pfip/fcu control button
  • in the pfip control box goto the bottom where it shows shutter
  • there are three controls: open close and home and one reporting space, which was saying unknown home gets rid of the unknown state
