| Error Code | Message | Problem | Recommendation |
| 7 | ccdserver: busy | The ccdserver is running an exposure and cannot take the requestion action. | Try again; if the problem persists a reboot of the ccdXX computer may be necessary. |
| 12 | ccdserver: too late | The exposure is almost done and cannot be paused, nor the exposure time changed. | |
| 17 | ccdserver: line errors from DSP | The ccdserver is receiving incomplete data lines from the DSP. | Reset DSP/CCD-Server using the "Camera - CCD Hardhat" menu. |
| 1008 | TCPIP: timeout on socket | The device did not respond in to a request. | |
| 1009 | TCPIP: opening socket failed | The device is not accepting connections. | Check the network cabling (ObsPC and device). Power cycle the device. |
| 1010 | TCPIP: internal locking error | The TCP/IP connection is blocked by another software component. | Check the network settings of the observer workstation. Check the router and cabling. |
| 2001 | Galil: invalid command | The Galil controller did not accept a command. | For this to happen the controller has to be in a "confused" state. Please power-cycle the Galil controller and re-start the GUI. |
| 2007 | Galil: position not found | The software failed 3 times to move the mechanism to the target position. | |
| 2009 | Galil: motion aborted | A home-sequence or other motor move has been stopped by the Galil-Hardhat. | |
| 3001 | CCDIO: ccdserver busy | Connection to ccdserver is busy by another task. | This should be a temporary issue, please try again. |
| 3005 | CCDIO: DSP error | The DSP response was inconsistent with the command issued by the ccdserver/Swope-GUI | Try again; if the error persists you may have to use the Reset DSp/CCD-Server button on the CCD-Hardhat window and/or power-cycle the DSP. |
| 3007 | CCDIO: no data from ccdserver | The GUI did not receive (enough) data from the ccdserver. | Try again; if the error persists you may have
to use the Reset DSp/CCD-Server button
on the CCD-Hardhat window.
Note: This may be caused by intermittend network problems and is currenly under investigation. |
| 4001 | exposure timeout | The ccdserver is in exposure mode even though the GUI expects the exposure to be done. | Take a short test exposure; if the problem persists, reboot the ccdXX computer and re-start the Swope-GUI. |
How does the Init procedure for the stages (X,Y,Focus) work?
The focus limit trigger "wheel" becomes miss-aligned.
The "wheel" set screw must be tightend
at the proper position of the "wheel" because it defines the
home position and protects the guider camera from
running into the focus stage or IMB enclosure.

Mac OS-X Arp Unicast workaround
In ... OS X Mavericks it appears that Apple has
implemented section 2.3.2.1 of RFC1122, "ARP Cache Validation."
In this scenario it appears that Mavericks installations are
performing unicast ARP requests and timing out ARP for the gateway
on the host if it does not receive a corresponding response -
thus assuming its ARP entry is no longer valid. Based on
preliminary evidence after 5 unsuccessful attempts at unicast
ARP OSX reverts to standard broadcast ARP and is successful.
This is causing a symptom that resembles short period of
unresponsiveness or packet loss.
sudo sysctl -w net.link.ether.inet.arp_unicast_lim=0
/etc/sysctl.conf:
This may be caused by a loose set screw.
Please follow the instructions on the
HowTo page.
