Calibration unit

Error (85): Axis has not been homed

Symptom

While trying to move one of the element of the calibration unit, or while running a focus/offset script, there is an error.

Problem

The calibration unit has not been initialized

Solution

1. From the command line, run:

   	kcwiHomeCalUnit

Computers & Software

For SCIENCE DETECTORS, please click here to see that section below

DCS or instrument keywords missing in image headers

Symptom

Keywords such as RA, Dec, ROTPPOSN, or keywords related to the instrument status, are not found in the image headers. These keywords can still be obtained from the kcwiserver command line via show -s dcs commands or by showing individual servers keywords.

Problem

The kcwiheaders process has lost its connection to DCS or to one of the servers, or it is not running.

Solution

Use this procedure to restart kcwiheaders, as well as kcwi global and kcwihistory just in case:

1. Wait for the exposure to end; do not begin another
2. kcwi stop kcwi head hist mon
3. kcwi start kcwi (wait 60 sec, until gshow -s kcwi %wav% returns values)
4. kcwi start head (full name kcwiheaders, can be abbreviated head)
5. kcwi start hist (full name kcwihistory, can be abbreviated hist)
6. kcwi start mon (full name kcwimon, can be abbreviated mon)
7. In 60 sec, check if kcwiheaders have started using kcwi status head

Newly-acquired images should now have these keywords in the image header.

If CCDCFG or other blue detector keywords are missing from the headers, see this entry.

MIRA fails with "cp: missing second argument" error

Symptom

The MIRA procedure starts but as soon as a focal plane camera image is taken, the script ends with an error about missing second argument on "cp"

Problem

The filename of the focal plane camera images is wrong.

Solution

The filename of the focal plane camera should be in the format: kfYYMMDD_<number>.fits

1. Check the expected filename with the command framerootfpc
2. Check the current filename with the command show -s kfcs outfile
3. If they are different, use the following command to fix the problem: modify -s kfcs outfile=`framerootfpc`
4. Re-run MIRA

Starting the eventsounds GUI

Symptom

No sounds (Exposure Complete, Readout Complete, etc.) are playing.

Problem

The eventsounds GUI or soundboard has crashed or failed to start.

Solution

The eventsounds GUI should be restarted.

1. From a kcwirun@kcwiserver terminal, run kcwi start eventsounds

Starting kcwihistory, kcwiheader, or kcwimon

Symptom

The kcwihistory, kcwiheaders, or kcwimon is sending software alarm emails, with messages such as "kcwihistory resuscitation count is excessive".

Problem

The kcwihistory, kcwiheader, or kcwimon has crashed or failed to start.

Solution

The kcwihistory, kcwiheader, or kcwimon should be restarted.

1. From any terminal, run kcwi stop kcwihistory (or kcwiheaders, or kcwimon)
2. Check if it has stopped with kcwi status kcwihistory
3. Run kcwi start kcwihistory
. In 30 sec, check with kcwi status hist to see if it is running.
4. You may also need to check all the rest of the processes, including kcwi global, to see if they are the reason the other ones crashed. You can check them all by running kcwi status from kcwiserver.

______________

Old directions

1. From a kcwirun@moolelo terminal, run $RELDIR/etc/init.d/kcwihistory stop! . It will stop even as it tells you that kcwirun lacks the right permissions to do so.
2. Once kcwihistory has stopped (you can check with the status option), run $RELDIR/etc/init.d/kcwihistory start . Check with status to see that kcwihistory is happily running one process.

Mechanisms

Generic errors running mechanisms

Symptom

Mechanisms moves fail with errors such as:

• Cannot move, move already in progress
• Timeout while executing move...
• Stage X is undefined, not homed

Problem

Either the Galil controller or the server are in a bad state. Might be both. A stage might not initialized.

Solution

1. Check if the stages are homed/initialized.

 

Calibration Unit:

If the failure is related to the calibration unit, it is always safe to initialize it again.

From the background menu, Home/Initialize Components > Initialize Calibration Unit

This can take a long time.

If you are sure of which stage is not initialized, you can use the low level engineering GUI:

KCWI Engineering > Low Level Engineering GUIs > Calibration Unit

The GUI is self-explanatory, and stages can be homed one by one.

 

Blue Exchanger

The only stage that needs to be initialized is the grating rotator. The status can be checked with:

show -s kbes grhomed

If it needs to be initialized, use:

modify -s kbes grhome=1

 

Blue Camera Focus

The status can be checked with:

show -s kbms fochomed

If it needs to be initialized, use:

modify -s kbms fochome=1

Once this is done, you need to restore a sensible focus value, such as focusb -1.85

 

Red Exchanger

The only stage that needs to be initialized is the grating rotator. The status can be checked with:

show -s kres grhomed

If it needs to be initialized, use:

modify -s kres grhome=1

 

Red Camera Focus

The status can be checked with:

show -s krms fochomed

If it needs to be initialized, use:

modify -s krms fochome=1

Once this is done, you need to restore a sensible focus value, such as focusr -1.40

 

2. If this doesn't solve the problem after sending the move again, we need to look at restarting the servers.

 

The calibration unit is controlled by the kcas server, the blue exchanger is on kbes, the blue camera focus stage is on kbms, the red exchanger is on kres, and the red camera focus stage is on krms.

Any server can be restarted with kcwi restart <server>

It is always a good idea to restart the kcwi global, kcwiheader, kcwihistory, kcwimon after restarting a server

kcwi stop kcwi head hist mon

kcwi start kcwi (wait 60s)

kcwi start head; kcwi start hist; kcwi start mon (head can take 60 sec to finish starting, check with kcwi status head

 

3. If the problem persists, it might be time to power cycle the Galils.

 

The main command is kcwiPower, with kcwiPowerStatus showing everything.

Note that the Galils are coupled. The rotator, IFU stage, and the calibration server are on the same port (server 3, port 8), the blue exchanger and the blue mechanisms are on the same port (server 1, port 7), and the red exchanger and red mechanisms are on the same port (server 2, port 7). Be aware that power cycling one of them, will power cycle the other too. This means that a stage might need to be initialized again even if it was working before.

The procedure to follow is:

- shut down the corresponding servers with kcwi stop <server>

- power cycle the galil with kcwiPower

- wait about a minute for the power up procedure of the galil to complete

- restart the servers with kcwi start <server>

- verify stages are initialized (see above)

- restart the kcwi global, kcwiheaders, kcwihistory, kcwimon

 

 

4. If that doesn't work, it's time to call the instrument master

 

Hatch not opening using keywords or GUI

Symptom

The hatch keywords and commands (hatch open/close) seem to have no effect on the hatch, no light is visible, the hatch close returns a "2"

Problem

The hatch motors are confused between limits (hatch close returns code 2), in a bad state, or the galil is confused

Solution

First try rehoming the hatch with modify -s khas bladecal=reset bladecal=homed

After this, test the hatch with hatch open (exit code 1 is open) and hatch close (exit code 0 if closed, 2 if still confused between limits).

 

If attempting to rehome returned the error: "Error setting bladecal: bladecal: ERR_WRONG_CTRL_MODE (-5254) Wrong control mode for request" do:

- modify -s khas blademod=pos

- modify -s khas bladecal=reset bladecal=homed

- test the hatch with hatch open and hatch close

 

If that didn't work, power cycle the hatch with the kcwiPower 1 2 command

Restart khas with kcwi restart khas

Test the hatch with hatch open/close

Blue Camera Focus mechanism is not homing, reports spurious errors

Symptom

The focus mechanism is not working. The errors can be "Move already in progress" or "Moves are locked"

Problem

Unless there is a move in progress or the moves are locked, this is likely to be a problem with the kbms server not being able to communicate with the hardware, and the most likely cause is a failure of the Lantronix terminal server

Solution

- It is worth looking at the output of the watchlogs command, which can be accessed from the background menu under the troubleshooting submenu. The KBMS server might be complaining. Try to stop and restart the server with kcwi restart kbms, and watch the output of the logs mentioned above. If the errors persist, it is possible that the Lantronix terminal server needs to be restarted.

- This can be done using the kcwiPower command. It takes 30/40 seconds for the Lantronix to restart.

- See ticket: K2-28841

- After all is solved, don't forget to restart kcwi/kcwiheaders/kcwihistory/kcwimon.

Rotator

Rotator does not not seem to communicate with TCSU, is stuck on Idle, Halt, or Slew

Symptom

Facsum reports an incorrect status, skypa cannot be set

Problem

The rotator is not fully initialized, or watchrot has either died or is in a bad state

Solution

1. Restart watchrot from a terminal on kcwiserver:

kcwi stop watchrot

kcwi start watchrot

2. If that doesn't work, stop watchrot FIRST (disable KCWI Rotator in background menu) and then initialize/home the rotator from the background menu. Finish by enabling the KCWI rotator (=starting watchrot) from the background menu.

Rotator has high errors, not tracking closely (less extreme)

Symptom

High rotator errors, drive/tracking lags or catches up in big jumps.

Problem

The rotator is not fully initialized, or watchrot has either died or is in a bad state, or the kros service has died or is lagging.

Solution

1. Restart watchrot

From a terminal on kcwiserver use:

kcwi stop watchrot

kcwi start watchrot

2. If that doesn't work, stop watchrot FIRST (disable KCWI Rotator in background menu) and then initialize/home the rotator from the background menu. Finish by enabling the KCWI rotator (=starting watchrot) from the background menu.

3. If that doesn't work, restart kros. From a terminal on kcwiserver:

kcwi stop kros 

kcwi start kros

kcwi status kros

(check if it started; give it 30 sec).

If kros started, stop watchrot FIRST (disable KCWI Rotator in background menu) and then initialize/home the rotator from the background menu. Finish by enabling the KCWI rotator (=starting watchrot) from the background menu.

If kros started, then restart kcwi global, kcwiheaders, kcwihistory, kcwimon:

 kcwi stop kcwi

 kcwi start kcwi

(wait 60 sec for it to start)

 gshow -s kcwi %wav%

(only will display once kcwi global is successfully started, then proceed)

 kcwi restart kcwihistory

 kcwi restart kcwimon

 kcwi restart kcwiheaders

(wait 60 sec, gshow it to check if it started successfully)

Rotator stops tracking at random times, does not reach the requested position

Symptom

There are many possible symptoms: the rotator might stop tracking and stay in fixed position, it might try to get to a requested PA without getting there, it might go back and forth between tracking and slewing, or stay stuck in "slew"

Problem

One possible problem is overheating of the rotator galil. This causes 1 or 2 of the rotator encoders to read wrong values, which causes the rotator tracking software to shut down tracking.

Solution

1. Verify that the encoders are reading wrong values. Bring up the rotator engineering GUI, and look for the values read by encoders ABDE. Usually encoders D and E are the one showing errors. Also, on the top right part of the GUI, look for Encoder Error = True

 

2. Check the temperature of the electronic cabinet. Use command kcwiTempStatus

The temperature to check is Cab Int, cabinet interior. It should be below 20 C. If there is no value returned, it is possible that kt2s is running in simulation mode. If that is the case, stop and start kt2s.

 

3. If the temperature is too high, we need to cool down the cabinet. If possible at all, increase the glycol flow or at least check that the glycol valve is open. A good reference value is 1 GPM. If that is not possible, ask somebody at the summit to open the electronic cabinet door and leave it open. This will have undesired effects, such as releasing heat in the dome and possible light contamination.

 

4. Stop watchrot with kcwi stop watchrot

 

5. Reset the rotator galil with modify -s kros reset=1

 

6. Restart the rotator server kcwi restart kros

(then restart kcwi global, kcwiheaders, kcwihistory, kcwimon)

 

7. Initialize the rotator from the background menu

 

8. From the background menu, KCWI Control -> Enable KCWI rotator

 

9. If this doesn't work, it might be necessary to remove 2 of the encoders from the standard position measurement. To do this, login into the rotator galil (See below) and follow these instructions:

 
    telnet rotgalil
    SN AB
    ^]
    

Note that this setting goes away if the galil is reset.

 

10. Ultimate hammer: call the Instrument Master to restart the power to the rotator. This is a last resort since power cycling it will mean you need to rehome the rotator, the calibration unit, and the IFU stage since they share the power switch. Avoid doing this on-sky if possible.

 

Sending a Sky PA change is interrupted by a Virtual Circuit Disconnect

Symptom

The observer attempted to set the Sky PA position angle using the Blue Exposure GUI but failed with some version of the following error:

**********************************************

Virtual circuit disconnect 192, 192

vm-k2epicsserver:7502

**********************************************

Error setting ROTMODE: Can't put k2:dcs:pnt:fast.DROT to channel access (User specified timeout on IO operation expired)

Problem

The virtual disconnect interfered with changing the PA, so it was never sent or only partially sent.

Solution

Resend the "Set Sky PA" command by reclicking the button on the Blue Exposure GUI. Check FACSUM that the Rotator successfully goes to the requested angle. If not follow other rotator troubleshooting directions.

Science Detectors

Blue/Red Detectors have almost no light after a Mira (FPCam still in beam)

Symptom

The observers are trying to start their science/standard exposure right after a Mira, and there is no light or almost no light on either detector. What light there is does not look normal. See picture below for an 800sec blue and 300sec red example.

Problem

The observers have probably forgotten to re-send their configuration, so the Focal Plane Camera is still in beam instead of their slicer. The Blue Config GUI shows a yellow light next to IFU, indicating that the FPCam is still in place.

Solution

Have the observer send their configuration from the Configuration Manager in Firefox using the green play button. After pressing "Execute", wait until the move is complete, shown by the Execute window closing AND the Blue Config GUI shows the correct slicer installed.

Blue Detector stops taking images or rejects input

Symptom

It is impossible to start a new exposure. Neither the command line nor the buttons are able to initiate an exposure.

Problem

The detector server is in a bad state. This usually results from pausing an exposure following with an abort or stop.

Solution

The detector server should be restarted.

1. From the login menu, open a terminal as the CURRENT user
2. Run kcwiRecoverBlueDetector
3. Take a test exposure tintb 0; goib

Missing blue header keywords such as CCDCFG

Symptom

The CCDCFG or other blue detector keywords are missing from the blue header.

Problem

The blue detector server is confused.

Solution

The detector server should be restarted.

1. From the login menu, open a terminal as the CURRENT user
2. Run kcwiRecoverBlueDetector
3. Check if kcwiheaders is started with kcwi status head; if not restart it and wait 60sec.
4. Take a test exposure tintb 0; goib

Blue Detector server is not starting or stopping

Symptom

- The detector server appears to be stuck. It does not start and, if it is running, it does not shutdown.

- The detector display will not come up.

- If you try to access any keywords, you get similar messages to this:

 rpcKey_clientFuncs.c 3928: Server is not ready. 

 ERROR - Access to the RPC client is not allowed for service kbds! 

 Failed to open service "kbds". 

 ERROR - Access to the RPC client is not allowed for service kbds! 

Problem

The most likely cause is dirty fibers. This causes a loss of communication between the ARC board and the controller. If you look at the log stored in /var/log/kroot/kcwi.log in kcwitarg (not kcwiserver), you will see entries such as:

Dec 18 16:08:36 kcwitarg kbds_server: arc_api.c,517: Failed to setup ARC device: ( CArcPCIe::Command() ): ( CArcPCIe::ReadReply() ): Time Out [ 2 sec ] while waiting for status  

Exception Details: 0x203 TDL 0x7d 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff  

Dec 18 16:08:36 kcwitarg kbds_server: arc.c,208: Failed to setup ARC device  

Solution

The fiber ends should be cleaned.

1. The problem is likely to be in the control room, but it might also be on the instrument side. Clean both.

Recovering after cleaning the fibers involves the following steps

1. - Power cycle the rotator: kcwiPower 3 8 off, wait 10 sec, kcwi stop kros kcas, kcwiPower 3 8 on, wait 60 sec, kcwi start kros kcas, wait 60 sec, see if the rotator will home successfully (Home/Initialize menu), then home calibration stages too. If they fail, clean the fibers again and start over.
2. Restart kbds and krds: kcwi stop kbds, kcwi stop! krds, wait 10 sec, kcwi start kbds krds, wait 60 sec, try to show their power status gshow -s kbds ccdpower -s krds ccdpower. Blue will likely be powered on as default, red will be powered off as default. If the services won't show keywords, clean the fibers and start over.
3. Restart kcwi global, head, hist, mon: kcwi stop kcwi head hist mon, kcwi start kcwi, wait 60 sec, kcwi start hist mon, wait 10 sec, kcwi start head, wait 50 sec.
4. Run vis_emir kcwimon & to open the monitoring software to check that all the services are happy.
5. Run kcwiInit to set all the various directories (yes you want a new directory, nothing will be overwritten), frame prefixes and numbers, etc. If it barfs about services like above, clean the fibers again.
6. Open kcwiDisplayb and kcwiDisplayr from the background menu (Individual GUIs section) and then in a terminal: tintr 1, tintb 1, object TEST, imtype TEST, goibr 5 5. This will attempt to take 5 blue and 5 red images. If all 5 come through and look ok, ending with final frame number 5 on both, fiber recovery complete! If not, clean the fibers again.
7. The KCWIA guider will be mad after fiber comms got interrupted. Restart guider camera power with kcwiPower 2 1 cycle and call SWOC to finish recovering the guider.

Red Detector server has crashed, recovery

Symptom

The red detector server krds has returned errors or exited with values not 0. The observer double-clicked "Expose" or tried to change a detector setting (ampmode, gain, etc) while the detector was still exposing or reading out.

It is impossible to start a new exposure. Neither the command line nor the buttons are able to initiate an exposure.

Problem

The detector server is in a bad state.

Solution

The detector server should be restarted.

1. From the login menu, open a terminal as the CURRENT user
2. Run kcwiRecoverRedDetector and follow directions.
3. Take a test exposure tintr 0; goir

 

Explicitly, the red recovery script does the below steps as well as restarting the GUIs and eventsounds.

1. Stop the red detector server

    kcwi stop! krds

2. Start the red detector server and then give it 60 sec to start.

    kcwi start krds

3. (then restart kcwi global, kcwiheaders, kcwihistory, kcwimon)
4. Initialize the red side, which resets detector parameters, directories, prefixes, autoshut=1, ccdpower=1

    kcwiInit -red

Guider and Focal Plane Camera

The Focal Plane Camera is not exposing, is rejecting keyword changes

Symptom

Exposures fail, attemps to change the exposure time fail, the camera cannot be powered up

Problem

Either the camera hardware or the kfcs server are in a bad state

Solution

1. First check if the focal plane camera is in by typing slicer into a terminal and seeing if you get fpcam back. If not, FPCam is not in beam, fix with slicer fpcam
2. Use these commands to restore camera functionalities (MUST BE DONE FROM KCWISERVER):

   fpcamPower off

   fpcamPower on

   If you are lucky, the camera turned on and successfully set the 4x4 binning. If not, continue.

    

3. Use these commands to restore camera functionalities (MUST BE DONE FROM KCWISERVER):

   fpcamPower off

   kcwi restart kfcs

   fpcamPower on

   If the camera turned on and successfully set the 4x4 binning, continue to the next step to restore all the settings, services, and displays. If not, try the above set one more time, then call the instrument master.

    

4. Restart the AutodisplayFPC from the KCWI Individual GUIs background menu
   
5. Restart the kcwi global, kcwiheaders, kcwihistory, kcwimon

   kcwi stop kcwi; kcwi start kcwi

   kcwi stop head; kcwi start head

   kcwi stop hist; kcwi start hist

   kcwi stop mon; kcwi start mon

6. Restore the correct prefix and data directory for the kfcs server. Use "outdir -all" to see what is the directory for tonight (like /s/sdata1400/kcwi1/<UTDATE>):

   kcwiInit

If it is necessary to continue displaying FPC images, the FPC image display must also be restarted. This can be done from the background menu, under KCWI Individual GUIs.

The NEW KCWIA guider is not happy.

Symptom

The KCWIA andor camera guider will not take an exposure.

Problem

The k2-andor-camserver2 KCWIA camera server is not happy. The mechanisms run on k2-magiq-camserver1, and while it could be unhappy, it normally is not.

Solution

See Shui's page for SWOC to guide your steps: https://www.keck.hawaii.edu/twiki/bin/view/Software/SoftwareOnCallNotes#K2KCWIA

If they ask you to power cycle the KCWIA camera, the steps are:

kcwiPower 2 2 off

kcwiPower 2 1 off

Wait about 5-10 seconds.

kcwiPower 2 2 on (Guider Fiber Converter)

Wait 30 sec, Fiber converter needs to be on before camera power.

kcwiPower 2 2 on (Guider Camera Power)

The OLD guider reports "INTERNAL MODE" or shows two vertical black lines

Symptom

Using the EXPOSE button produces errors for "INTERNAL MODE"

Problem

The kcwi magiq camera server is not working correctly.

Solution

The OA can fix this problem by restarting the KCWI magiq camera server and the magiq server.

If you want to try to fix it yourself, follow these steps:

Bring up a TCSGUI and select MAGIQ, which will pop up a small separate MAGIQ icon.

From the MAGIQ-K2_Operations_Menu icon, pull down and choose KCWI and then Restart KCWI Camserver. Wait a minute or two for it to complete the restart.

Then from the same Operations Menu pulldown, select Restart Server * , which is the first option. The restart will take a couple of minutes.

Test that the Guider is now working correctly:

From the MAGIQ icon pulldown, Select “Start OA Gui”

On the bottom left of the MAGIQ GUI area, select "kcwi" (instead of "NULL")

Click "Make Guider"

Click "Expose"

Inspect the images as it continuously exposes

Check that the Guider Log to the far left does not say "INTERNAL MODE" (shown as red text)

Click "Stop Exp"

If the actions above fail to resolve the porblem, the guider hardware can be power cycled from the command line:

kcwiPower 2 2 off

kcwiPower 2 1 off

Wait about 5-10 seconds.

kcwiPower 2 2 on (Guider Fiber Converter)

Wait 30 sec, Fiber converter needs to be on before camera power.

kcwiPower 2 2 on (Guider Camera Power)

General OLD GUIDER problems: No images, no control of mechanisms, rcp errors...

Symptom

Often after an instrument swap, the guider is unresponsive: no images, no control of mechanism, generic rpc errors on the console

Problem

A number of problems can cause this: incorrect power up sequence, problems with the fiber connections, Galil in a confused state, spurious software running on the magiq servers, incorrect initialization of the magiq interface card in the back of k2-magiq-camserver1

Solution

The first approach is to power cycle the magiq server using the kcwiPower command, then restart the camera server and the magiq server.

If that doesn't work, this is a ticket submitted by Liz (K2-24972):

Long story - 
- k2-magiq-camserver1 had been up 19 days. a NIRSPECM rpc_cam task was still running , but i do not think a KCWI rpc_cam task was up.  

- Luca folks had done power-cycle, RestartKCWI for MAGIQ but no joy 
- Following commands from 'Magiq Status' webpage, Luca did 'magiqCamera initcam 0 0 (for nirspec first), then 0 1 (for kcwi)', still no joy 

- decided to reboot k2-magiq-camserver1 (telnet k2consoles-3 2012; solaris 5.10) 
- after server back up, did the initcam commands again; now no NIRSPECM tasks running 
- did 'RestartKCWI' from MAGIQ menu and rpc_cam for KCWI running 
- able to take images now 
- tried moving the filter wheel - nada happened, apparently from KCWI, these mechanisms not usually moved (or are they working?) 
- per Luca, we only need to worry about focus, which doesn't move much around 137.0 
- tried moving focus to 150 to test, didn't seem to move from main MAGIQ UI, but looks like it eventually did when Luca brought up MAGIQ camDiagostnics? tried moving it to 130.0; seemed to take a while, then eventually it refreshed on the camDiagnostics gui (I think you have to hit refresh). Still said 149.0 on main MAGIQ UI but we left it since camDiagnostics appeared to reflect the current state. 

 

In summary, this problem requires the intervention of software on call, and might require rebooting the magiq server k2-magiq-camserver1.
