Shutting Down the System

 

Generally, it is advisable to leave the infrared system running at the end of a night. This allows array temperature logging to continue. The dewar should be left blanked off to avoid prelonged exposure to saturated light levels. Use the STARTNEWNIGHT command at the beginning of a new night to create a new dated data subdirectory and reset the run number.

To fully shut down the infrared system, type:

IR_SHUTDOWN

When all processes have stopped, and all but the command entry window have been removed from the workstation screen, click on the Session Manager (key) icon and select Quit in the Session menu. This logs the INFRARED process out of MOPRA.
