GEMINI - Startup Error after Deleting Standard Calibration File

Known Issue ID: 16204

Issue Summary: An EPIC-W GEMINI or DSMC2 GEMINI reports a Startup Error after the last user-generated Standard calibration file is deleted and a Defaults Restore is then performed. The error occurs because the camera does not switch to the Factory calibration file after the user-generated file is deleted.
