AOA Camera Code Download
On occasion (very rarely) the AOA camera for the WFS loses its code. If that happens, use the following procedure to download the code to the AOA camera (note, this should only be done by a support astronomer or telescope technician).- From CentDiag, enter the 'quit' command on the command line to quit the control program. Wait 5 seconds for the quit to complete.
- Open two xterm windows and log onto lgs7 as the root user from both windows.
- From one of the windows (window 1), type aounload (to unload the control modules).
- In the other window (window 2), type minicom (to start a minicom session).
- Cycle power to the AOA camera and be ready to hit the ESC key within 4 seconds.
- When the BUFFALO message comes up in the minicom window:
- hit the ESC key
- type load t
- In window 1, type dnld
- In minicom (window2):
- Wait for the word "done" to be displayed
- Type call 4000
