Hi Kaike,
yes, it was strange last night. On the other hand, the second restart
of SOP actor fixed the problem for the rest of the night. Since I have
three more nights, I'd like to look how the problem develops itself,
to give our coders more information, and then re-open the tickets.
We discussed how the problem emerged for the first time.
There was nothing unusual done, and the problem started on
its own when we did regular operations after the exposure
sequence ended. We were unable to find triggering event.
I'll try again next nights.
Dmitry
