TOM1 Running

["Thomas Droege" <tdroege2@earthlink.net>]

I have just revived the TOM1 pipeline and at least part of the data from a
couple of nights ago has been successfully reduced.  So the new season has
started.  It took a while to remember how to set up everything.  I have
recorded a lot of things, but now everything in detail.  Part of the
problem was that I changed out the computer for TOM1 and it got a new name.
So I had to find all the places where the name was part of a path.  Yes, I
know how to do it right but I am learning this software stuff and I do not
always do everything in a completely general way.  

Today when Dan comes in we will work on getting TOM2 and TOM3 running. 
TOM3 is operating fine and gets images but none of the motors will move. 
We have replaced every part one at a time including the cables and it still
does not work.  When Dan comes in we will drag an oscilloscope up into the
dome and signal trace until we find what is wrong.  

TOM2 has a sick V camera path.  Everything looks good but there are no
images.  Sigh!  It is always a struggle to turn on again after an off
period.
