Troubleshooting guide

In this example the data disk on flamingos1a, /data, is 44% full, and has 38 GB of available space. For
imaging you should ensure that there is at least 10 GB of space available; for spectroscopy you should
have ~5 GB of space. However, note that the image acquisition scripts will complain on each and
every image if the flamingos1a disk space is ≥ 93% full, and will refuse to take any more data if the
disk is ≥ 97% full.
5. Open the shortcuts menu. Many of the common FLAMINGOS commands which do not require arguments
may now be run from a shortcuts menu on the second-1 or second-2 desktop. Double-click on the
FLAMINGOS icon to bring up the menu (Figure 2). In the following, the appropriate button will be noted in
square brackets along with the command line input.
