BULLETIN: Gemini Scripts

Some scripts will cause the A channel to get in an infinite loop of coadds. This is caused by a GO 2 (or TEST 2 or TEST A) command immediately followed by a
TELMOVE -RA_Offset -DEC_Offset command. Telmove commands with either (or both) RA or Dec positive do not cause the problem. You can exit an infinite loop coadd by doing the following commands:
Ctrl-F3
Ctrl-F2
Engineering Menu: PC-T Reset

ACTIONS:

Add a PAUSE 1 command after the GO 2 line and before the TELMOVE -RA -DEC command in your script(s).
