Date: 20140314 Observer: Anja Weyant, Kara Ponder OA: Dave Summers Problem: Whirc is having troubles starting this afternoon. pulled up PAN fine to start with, but when start MOP, it could not connect to the telescope. I did have a "MOP debug log" from last night still up. There was no "exit" option on the MOP so Dave pressed the red x. We restarted PAN but there were errors "..read echo mismatch...". We repeatedly stopped PAN and restarted it, sometimes stopping PAN twice in a row to try to clear everything out. Dave said that they found doing something with ODI would crash WHIRC so this is possibly residual from that issue last night. Solution: Dave is currently checking some logs. Next stage of debugging: Hard reset of PAN. NEED TO HAVE OA DO THIS.
