ENR CTIO Blanco 4-m 2013-06-08

Date: 
Saturday, June 8, 2013
Telescope: 
CTIO Blanco 4-m
Submitter:

Observer Support: 
Mauricio Rojas
Night Assistant: 
Alberto Alvarez
Problems: 

None till 5 am.  Then SISPI interlock problems. Exposures being read out would show the EXPOSED button lit - then teh TRANFERED button lit but WITHOUT first lighting the DIGITIZED button.  Then teh interlock would trip.  Reconfiguring SISPI would make it seem OK, but the same thing would happen with the following exposure.
So did shutdown and brought up a fresh SISPI.   Things worked ok after that, but it makes teh ugly "raspberry" sound while TRANSFERRING after readout omn every exposure.  Makes images OK though....

This is my 2nd attempt at sending (and refliing from SCRATCH) this document today. It gave me an error when I hit the SEND button, and sent out an empty report.
lets see if it works this time.
