| + | * The telescope is now equipped with a dome indexer. The dome should index its position every time it passes the indexer somewhere in the Southwest. In practice you should not have to initialize the dome anymore. You should still be checking to see if the dome is in position before you begin the night. If it's not, initialize and record it in the Trouble Report. | ||

| * H2 is the last hardware limit and will function the same as the final hardware limit currently at most of our telescopes. As soon as it is hit, it will cut power to the drive system either by powering off the drives or by activating the Safe Torque Off option. You will not be able to back out of this limit with the control system. It will have to be done manually. | * H2 is the last hardware limit and will function the same as the final hardware limit currently at most of our telescopes.
