-After you first login 
-1.In a unix (xterm) window type "dataserver" and minimize it  
-2.in another xterm window, type "galilserver" and minimize it  
-3.In yet another, type "fw-gui" and minimize it.  The gui comes up saying "filter in beam", all you need to do is to hit "unload" (This begs the question of the possibility of a filter in the beam and the wheel rotated. we supposedly have safeguards) 
- 
-Then: 
-1.Click on "READ FILTERS"--> this spins the wheel twice to read and verify filter codes (don't ask why. and i THINK it's still true that there must be 6 good filter codes, ie, 6 filters in the wheel)  
-2.Click INITIALIZE --> this spins the wheel once more (again, don't ask why)  
-3.Select a filter with radio button. click SELECT and it spins the filter wheel  
-4.Put filter in by clicking LOAD  
-5.To change filters: 
-UNLOAD 
-SELECT 
-LOAD  
- 
-FOCUS button moves focus that number of stepper motor steps. Stepper motor steps are what you enter into ficus routine in CCD GUI. 
- 
-NOMINAL PLANE sets differences between focus actuators ABC to stored, magically derived, values. 
- 
-SET REFERENCE- stores best focus once you've derived it 
- 
-RESTORE FOCUS- sets ABC to what's stored by SET REFERENCE 
- 
-POPULATE and POPULATE DONE are for physically installing filters (done by day crew) 
- 
-So a normal sequence is: 
-1.Load a filter  
-2.NOMINAL PLANE  
-3.Run Focus sequence on CCD computer  
-4.Set best focus and SET REFERENCE  
-5.Observe  
-6.Restore focus  
-7.Observe  
-8.Restore focus  
- 
-The telescope control software needs to be running for things like ra/dec to be in header. 
- 
-The operator has to start things on his computer for guider actions.
