Observer Support:

Night Assistant:

Klaus Honscheid
Problems: 

ICS was not displaying the info from the lower right pannel (ICS1). We restarted SISPI after Klaus finished his tests but this did not bring back the display. 

Comments: 

Eng night.

1) Observed for a few hours for 2021A-0124 (PI Vivas)

2) Klaus tested Stop button functionality for about 1h starting at midnight. His report follows: 

with Kathy’s help I was able to restore the proper behavior of the stopExposure function while maintaining the new stopRequested call for Dustin’s ETC code.
We were not able to test this with the ETC code.

stopExposure stops the exposure and the queue (as it did in the past)

abortExposure aborts the exposure (no readout) and stops the queue (also the same as in the past

stopRequested stops the exposure but not the queue – this is the desired behavior for the IBIS ETC.

 

3) 2am. DECal scan of M438. All worked fine
