PFIP

  • 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
        x_binning=xbin, y_binning=ybin, type=obs_type, object=objname )
      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

TCS GUI

  • default Tabs are missing.

    Here is how restore them:
    • in TCS GUI click Windows->Configure Tabs...
    • mouse click inside Current Tabs part
    • press Ctrl-A to select everything and hit Delete
    • copy and paste content of file /home/astronomer/sir/_TCS_GUI_TABS_CONFIG into Current Tabs area
    • Press OK button at the bottom of Configure Tabs windows
    • Restart TCS GUI
