End of Night
1) Close the dome shutter. This can be done by going to the legacy tab on the TCS GUI. This tab has three sections, Dome, shutter and structure. To close the dome, go to the shutter section found in the middle and hit the close tab. Important note: The dome does not have a lock out set up to not move while the shutter is closing. So it is very important to make sure you close the shutter while the dome is not in motion. The shutter is heavy, and having that in motion while the dome is rotating could cause serious damage. Only do one at a time.
2) You can determine when the dome is closed on the TCS GUI when, on the legacy tab the status of the shutter says closed. The shutter diagnosis button at the top of the GUI should also be green, instead of yellow.
3) Once the shutter has closed, move the dome to 180. You can do this by clicking stow under dome section of legacy tab.
4) Send the structure to 180 by hitting stow under structure column in legacy tab.
5) Once The structure has made it to it’s stow position, the tracker needs to be sent to its stow position. On the TCS GUI, go to the tracker tab. At the bottom, there is a hand paddle option which three tabs above it. Choose the Presets tab. The lower arrow will have the words Home on it. Select this and click Yes on the pop up window that will ask if you are sure about this motion. This will send the tracker to the lower center.
6) Once the tracker has reached its home position and is no longer moving, you can hit abort to engage the breakers. Note: The tracker will time out at 10 minutes automatically and the breaks will engage, but ensuring this by hitting abort is good practice.
7) After all four main components are at their stow position, you should now check that all of the camera’s are no longer running. If you find any of the cameras are still running, stop them by hitting Stop metrology and Stop Images.
8) Turn off the wavescope in the APC tab and then shut down the TCS GUI by going to File and selecting Exit.
9) Shutdown entire MARS system. Near the bottom of the MARS GUI hit the button below that which is the Shutdown Entire MARS System.
10) Make sure that the CCAS shutter is indeed closed, ie, go outside and look. This is very important, as you can’t always trust the button light indicators on the TDP in the control room.
11) On Wave, exit at the prompt of the AOA/wavescope software and then go back to Stratus.
12) On SCS GUI, set the Move Authority radio button to None. Then exit the program by selecting File -> Exit from the pull-down menu.
13) In SAMS, do click slider button to Standby, Stop, then hit yes on pop-up to exit.
14) Check with RA to see if they are doing any darks, or light sensitive tests.
15) Close louvers, leave lights on in dome, IF the RA isn’t taking darks!
16) Quincy - air dryer lever down, hit the OFF button on the air dryer.
17) Do “ahu on” in a TRANE webpage in Mozilla.
18) Set the Chevo-CAM off of Tour back to the HET position and change the Camera -> Picture -> Exposure mode back to the Full Auto setting. Note: It is very important at the end of the night to reset this camera back to Full Auto and no Tour (instead, aim it at the HET parking lot, use the preset HET) in order to prevent it from encountering the sun which will damage the chip. Make sure slow shutter is off and Night mode is disabled.
19) Fill out the TO Night Report and submit it.
20) Close all windows except the servers.
21) Perform a chksys in a new terminal and make sure there are no programs that should not be running.
22) IF the RA is not doing calibrations, turn on the Mothinators (during moth season when they are deployed).
23) Turn the overhead lights off in the control room, lock the door(s). Look up and make certain the CCAS shutter is closed, the louvers are closed and the dome shutter is closed.
