/* The Controls Tab */
=== The Controls Tab ===
Below is a screenshot of the main "Controls" tab of the TCS, where everything required for routine observing is located. There is one other tab, for more rarely used "Advanced" functions. The Controls tab is split into four main panels: command of the telescope and instrument selection on the left; the status of each subsystem in the middle; time and positional information on the upper right; and important buttons that need to be easily accessible on the bottom right.

==== Emergency Stop ====
# Switch off fluorescent lights (likely to be off, but as a precaution)
Control of the dome is not given up, but it can be "taken" using the lockout in the dome. It is not necessary to lockout the dome after use; staff will use this function when working in the dome.
