Subject: Old Problem Found

I just found a problem that has been bugging me ever since I loaded
Rob's software.  Every so often, the program would hang.  Sometimes it
would go for a week or two without a hang.

It turns out that after I take a set of files, I transfer them to a
directory where the data analysis program finds them and starts the
processing. After taking the last image, I allowed a 50 second pause for
the transfer of the image before moving the image set to the new
directory.  46 seconds is the normal time for the transfer of an image.
It looks like it sometimes takes more than 50.  Sigh!  Rob gave me a
clue by telling me it was hanging in the transfer.  Thank you Rob.

An operateor's job is never done.  Now if I could just figure out why it
kills the V cameras more often than the I.
