There have been occasions where certain programs interfere with normal observations (e.g., because it uses a lot of CPU, or because a certain process does not work properly). As a way of stopping any process that might be running, the data acquisition computer and florence might be rebooted (e.g., before the start of each observing run).
Instruction were provided for any staff member how to reboot the instrument computers, the terminal computer through which these computers are operated, and the visitor's data reduction computer.
