ISPI Troubleshooting & known problems
The most common problem when observing with ISPI, is that the ISPI GUI will loose connection with the TCS. As a result the ISPI GUI might hang. If this happens, close the GUI, stop the ArcVIEW main application and then restart the GUI by clicking on the ArcVIEW icon in the VNC window. Detailed instructions can be found under Simple Restart on the Re-starting ISPI page.
If simply restarting the GUI does not bring back up the connection with the TCS, ask the night assistant to re-start the TCS router. See also Telescope & TCS related problems
Limit the number of processes running on ctioa9 to a minimum.
This will improve overall stability of the system.
