- | Open the PAVO server and GUI using the menu on zoot. Typically the observer runs the PAVO server from their location. However, if network speed becomes an issue during a remote run, the operator can open the PAVO server on the mountain and the observer can type commands into PAVO by using a "speak pavo" session. The [Status] button on the PAVO GUI will bring up a display of the server.\\ \\ PAVO uses the LDCs. Bring up the LDC GUIs using the menu on zoot (under ESP Controllers). It's a good idea to home the LDCs at the start of the night. To home the LDCs, turn on the power button for the relevant telescope (the button will turn from red to green). Set the velocity to a non-zero number like 50 and click the [VEL] button. Then click the [HOME] button. You will see the position of the LDC go to 0.0. If the position gets stuck at "<>", | + | |
