Lost Connection to Guider and Andor
Friday, December 19, 2014 11:31 AM
Problem(s) Encountered:
1) Guider hung up shortly after the start of the night. Restarting the Maxim DL software yields the following error message upon trying ''Connect'':
Error initializing camera or filter wheel
Error opening camera
The camera settings are incorrect
2) About 10:45, Andor stopped responding. I tried a couple dozen times unplugging the USB cable and putting it back in, and every time I got:
USB Device Not Recognized
One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned ... (etc.)
Solutions:
Found the Andor back up and running this morning, apparently after a reboot.
FLI guide cam took a little more effort. Back up and online now. Not sure exactly what corrected the issue, but I suspect cycling power to the camera and rebooting the PC.
