   * Were the clocks synced? Make sure the [SYNC CLOCKS] button on Cosmic Debris has been pushed to start the night. If the OPLE server does not display the correct CHARA time and the errors don't read (0) or (1), the clocks were not synced.   * Were the clocks synced?

-  * Did the Astrolib update on OPLE? If the job queue is stopped too soon after slewing on Cosmic Debris, the correct calculations for the carts will not be done by OPLE and you may be searching for fringes with the wrong star data. The star identifier will be displayed in the server window.  If it is not correct, hit STAR ACQUIRED on CD to update OPLE. The proper star can also be entered manually by typing hd #### into the OPLE server and hitting ENTER.+  * Did the Astrolib update on OPLE?

   * Are the PoP's correct? After a PoP change, the PoP's are sometimes not updated in CD or ople. Compare the PoP's in the configuration tab of CD or OPLE with the PoP Overview or Popperi gtk.   * Are the PoP's correct? After a PoP change, the PoP's are sometimes not updated in CD or ople.

   * Are the carts behaving or are there vibrations or jumps of 100 or more microns every 3-6 seconds? How are the metrology signals? Are they strong and staying white? Red signals mean one or more metrology signals may have gone too low and homing carts is necessary. The METDATA function on the ople gui can be used to sample the metrology signal and may show noise spikes that can be disruptive to the smooth cart motion. Push the METDATA button on the configure tab and then again about 6 seconds later. Plots will pop up to show the frequency and power of any noise.   * Are the carts behaving or are there vibrations or jumps of 100 or more microns every 3-6 seconds? How are the metrology signals?
