Regarding the secondary problems, I spoke with Russell this morning and
here is our theory of what happened:
1) the secondary motion motors froze due to the low temperatures (-10C)
and thus did not execute the set focus commands we were issuing. Russell
thinks this is because the movement velocity was set too high - higher
than he thought it should be for successful cold weather operation. He
has since lowered the velocity so they should work better now.
2) the failure to do a successful XQ#HOME was operator error in that I
think I forgot to use capitals letters for my axis assignments
(ex. A=1 instead of what I did: a=1), although I did remember to use caps
for the XQ# commands. Sorry.
3) Things should be fine tonight, but we should exercise the secondary
once it gets cold again and make sure things work ok.
