SIMPLE RESTART:

If WILDFIRE has crashed (Instrument Status window has vanished and could not be found by above procedures), and/or the ``[hostcomputer]'' prompt has returned to the Instrument Control window, the following steps within the Instrument Control window should restore operation:

• If the ``%'' prompt is present, first enter exit to cleanly exit the processes and get the ``[hostcomputer]'' prompt
• At the ``[hostcomputer]'' prompt, enter: restart CIRIM, answering `y' to question about windows (note CAPS)
• Answer y to the question about motor control
• Enter fwinit to initialize the filter wheel
• Enter filter blank to select the dark filter
• Enter setup cirim, answering 'y' to question about detector activation Enter the proper bias for the detector (nominal 0.90).
• Enter puse [parameter_file] to restore the parameter file active before the crash
• Verify ``pixel_dir'', ``header_dir'', and ``nextpic'' with plist or ped to make sure data will still be going to the desired location and will not overwrite existing data
• Reload any scripts with the source command
• Continue observing

[NOTE: If the power to the instrument and/or the Heurikon DSP box in the computer room has been interrupted or the computer has been rebooted, this procedure may not be sufficient. See below for more specific procedures]
