Hello all:
We have a recurring lock-up problem here with our DPX-200 console that
I was wondering if anyone else has seen and knows the cause of. This is
something that I have only noticed since we have allowed the use of this
instrument in undergraduate teaching- I have used the machine myself for
many hours and have never seen the problem so I don't know what causes
it to occur. The symptom is that the RCU and TCU timeout at the beginning
of an acquisition (thus not allowing the acquisition to occur- also can be
noticed when giving the ii command).
Rebooting the CCU has no effect, killing the program (xwinnmr) and clearing
all processes and shared memory segments has no effect; the only thing
which seems to clear it is to cycle the power on the CCU cardcage (with the
keyswitch), and then restart the program.
Anyone else seen this problem?
Thanks for any information.
