Problem: AG Camera CCD Controller hangs.

Diagnostic :

AG CCD Controller does not respond as expected, see "traffic lights" status window (no readout, not shutter, error messages on yellow ag CCD Controller Status window, ...)

Explanation :

This happens only very rarely (for unknown reasons).

Solution :

Go to the yellow ag CCD Controller message window, type Ctrl-C to terminate the current error status. Restart CCD controller by entering:
```
a_start_ace
```
Go to AG IDL window, type:
```
pics_init,e,/a_ace
```
```
pics_ag
```
