Ideally the TCS software should be running all the time. Do not shut it down. If it is not running then press the [[File:Telescope_tcs.jpg|frameless|50px]] icon to execute. Two additional programs are also on the TCS computer which run in concert with the TCS:
* Live telescope pointing, target and crash limits: select the icon to execute.[[File:Crash.jpg|frameless|50px70px]]
* Finder chart - guide star program: select the icon to execute.[[File:GS_FC_icon.png|frameless|50px]]
