-The following error message sometimes appears when starting the PAVO server: \\ "Error communicating with IFW. Could not read from IFW. Is the filter wheel plugged in and on?" \\ Most of the time, restarting the PAVO server will clear this error message and allow PAVO to communicate with the filter wheel. If restarting the server doesn't help, then check that the cables going into the small, black IFW box on the PAVO table and into the back of the PAVO computer are plugged in securely. \\+The following error message sometimes appears when starting the PAVO server: \\ "Error communicating with IFW.

-The command "dbadd" can be entered in a terminal window to look up the CHARA number for a star or add a star to the CHARA database. To use dbadd, open a terminal window and type "dbadd starname" where starname is the common name (e.g., Vega) or identifier of the star (e.g., IRC, HR, HD, SAO, FK5, HIP, GJ, or 2MASS designation). If the object is in the database, then it will return the CHARA number.+The command "dbadd" can be entered in a terminal window to look up the CHARA number for a star or add a star to the CHARA database.

 You can also look up different identifiers for the star by using the SIMBAD database: [[http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-fbasic|http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-fbasic]] \\ You can also look up different identifiers for the star by using the SIMBAD database: [[http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-fbasic|http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-fbasic]] \\
