Troubleshooting guide

During the first execution of initflam.pl, you will be asked at multiple points whether you wish to
continue. In general, if the daemon windows say listening on port, startup has been successful and
you should answer y (for yes). If you are re-running initflam.pl after rebooting MCE4 after a
detector controller crash (cf. § VII. Troubleshooting), but have left the daemons running (which is ok),
the script will complain that the Motor and MCE4 daemons are stalled, however these daemons are
probably functioning properly and you can type y to continue on.
NOTE: The KDE desktops on tan:0.0 and tan:0.1 have available 4 desktops (see the desktop pager on
the toolbar). Once initflam.pl has been run, it is convenient to send the temperature plotting
windows to another desktop. Click on the top bar of the window with the right mouse button and select
the 'send to desktop' command to pick a different desktop.
NOTE: We recommend that one close, and immediately restart, all three daemons (Temperatures,
Motor, and MCE4) once a day. You will also need to close the Record Temperatures Window, and to quit
out of the two temperature quick-look plotting utilities. We recommend that you do this in the afternoon,
e.g., right before starting to take a set of pre-dinner dome flats or darks.
