2014 Troubleshooting:
These are old troubleshooting guides that may or may not be relevant to any issues that will occur in the present for IGRINS–we are keeping them here for reference in case any of these issues occur. If one of these issues occurs, before trying any fixes reach out to Greg Mace (gmace@astro.as.utexas.edu) to report the problem and discuss potential solutions.
