Hi
Just got an A16u and while I wait for my Pulsar to arrive with 2 ZLink I was wondering If I can plug this into my Luna to at least give me 8 channels?
I know the 2496 IO takes its power from the ZLink on the Luna so thought i'd better check before just pluggin it in.
Thanks

There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. These are things we don't know we don't know.
Re: A16u plugged into Luna?
yes, you can, afaik.
i would avoid a hot swap(connect with the power off), just because the pins on a fw cable are close together and that'll avoid accidentally having a pin with power touching a data line.

I think he can't. It's stated in the manual of A16U. Z-link can be either 2x at the same time or nothing. Not just one z-link. They need to work both because of some sort of phase alignment or snychronization. I can't recall what was it. I know that i tried to run just one z-link via my (now gone) pulsar and it didn't worked. Two at the same time - worked without any problem. Maybe i did something wrong back then but i doubt it.
Since Luna has only one z-link i am guessing that it won't work.

hmmm, maybe so. no harm in trying though, no? no damage from using just one z-link, right?
Re: A16u plugged into Luna?
No, i doubt he can burn something. They are simple z-link connectors after all..
