Problems: 

At 07:50 UT, while taking the ThAr for G2K000367, the detector stopped receiving signal, as a consequence the image obtained had not format, like a bias. I tried to take lamps in other preset modes, but I had the same problem. Trying to solve the problem I restarted the software, the torrent and the ctioe1 computer, but the problem continued. I changed the preset mode several times, in a moment the detector started to receive an small quantity of signal, about 10% of the expected, it seems that the detector can not get the right position. Observing a bright star it is possible to detect some signal, but much less than expected. In a moment, changing the preset mode, I received an error message in red "ASYNC WARNING ASYNC CHANEL". Also I received warnings of the temperature, after some minutes these warnings disappeared. In the monitoring points, the IODCTEMP and IODCSETP are in red.

 

All of these problems are beyond of my possibilities, at 09:30 UT I decided to finish the observation night. Please check the instrument ASAP!

Comments: 

There is not connection of the NOS  with the GUI and TCS, I observed manually.
