Possible Error Messages

There are some errors that you might encounter while running the program. One of those errors is entering a letter when a number is asked. When you make this mistake a dialog will appear informing you of that and telling you that you must start from the beginning. If you have entered the star's information you don't have to re-enter them, just press the "Take Measurements" button again. Some errors occur when you enter a value that it's not within acceptable limits. This type of errors includes observation duration and temperature. The limits for the ambient temperature are from -20 to +40 Celsius. The limits for the observation duration are from 30 minutes to 10 hours. If you enter a value outside these limits a warning will appear, and you must then re-enter a correct value. Other errors include selecting a wrong camera model in the MaximDL list. If that is the case just enter the correct model of your CCD in MaximDL. If your camera does not exist, send an e-mail to the seeing-gr analysis group and tell us about that. We will try to make it work. In case of other errors a dialog box will appear and inform you what to do. In all error cases a fault log is created in the programs folder. If an error persists, please send us an e-mail explaing exactly what you did and came to this difficult position. You should also send us the "fault.log" file mentioned above.
