Known issues and their workarounds†
COSMOS3†
- Observation suddenly stopped with the message "EMERGENCY STOP (Forced to stop) / Lost control priority." on the Manager GUI
- COSMOS3 communication between the ASTE and remote sites was cut due to some (unknown) reasons.
- Workaround: Just take the priority again by pushing the "THIS NODE" button on the Manager GUI, and you will be able to restart your observations.

- The Local Controller Activity GUI is frozen and cannot be closed.
- The LOC GUI sometimes freezes. Its cause is unknown yet.
- Workaround: Kill it using xkill (type 'xkill' on a terminal and click the GUI) and then, restart it from the COSMOS3 launcher.

- Line Qlook does not show spectra although an observation is running.
- This looks to be communication failures between the ASTE and remote sites.
- Workaround: First, restart COSMOS3 at the ASTE site. Second, also restart COSMOS3 at the remote site.
