First try closing and reopening the Slit View Camera package (SCP) and Data Taking Package (DTP) and taking a single (SCP) and Test Exposure (DTP). You might have to kill the packages in the ICS Hub under Check Processes before reopening them if one or both are frozen.
If all the detectors read out, then everything is working and you are good to proceed with your observations.
If one or more of the detectors still do not read out or the SCP or DTP freezes, try running the detector reset script as following:
Close the SCP and DTP if you have not already done so. If one or both are frozen, use the ICS Hub → Kill Processes to close them.
Open a terminal
cd ~/igrins_admin
source run_det_restart.sh
Put in the igrins password used to log into the Instrument Control Computer.
Wait a minute while it runs.
If you see nothing but a bunch of zeros scrolling by for a few minutes, the script did not work and you will need to press control c to kill the script and then proceed to the instructions for power cycling the detector controllers below.
If the script works, when it is finished reopen the SCP and DTP.
Take a single + test exposures to confirm all three detectors read out.
If this does not resolve the issue, you will need to power cycle the detector readout electronics controllers. Do the following:
Move the telescope to Zenith.
Raise the east platform enough you can access the IGRINS electronics rack mounted to the side of IGRINS.
If you see the backside of the IGRINS electronics rack, you will find three power switches for three detector controllers, as shown in the attached photo.
Turn all three switches off
Wait about 10 seconds.
Turn all of them back on.
Lower the east platform back to the ground.
Go back to the control room and on the Instrument Control Computer do the following to run the detector restart script…
Close the SCP and DTP (if they are open). If one or both are frozen, Use ICS Hub → Check Processes to kill them.
Open a terminal
cd ~/igrins_admin
source run_det_restart.sh
Put in the igrins password used to log into the Instrument Control Computer.
Wait a minute while it runs.
When it is finished reopen the SCP and DTP.
Take a single and test exposures to confirm everything works.
Hopefully this will get everything running correctly and you can proceed with your observations. If not, try contacting an IGRINS Team Member for help.
Be aware that restarting the H band detector leaves a bright column of signal. This will eventually fade away, and for the most part subtracts out during the data reduction process.
