I bought a used Pulsar II as addition to my previous two cards. As a bonus I received a Luna 2496 unit. Somhow I have problems getting it to work. The light go on for a short moment when I connect the Z-link cable. Immediately light turn off again and nothing else happens.
Does anyone kmow what I have to do?
Apart of that - can I work with more then 32 channels?
Regards

yes, you can, assuming that the Luna box works. try a different firewire cable.
it's one of those things that just works, if the hardware is not broken.

Could it also be a problem with the syncronisation. My Pulsar cards are slaved to a Yamaha 01v mixing console (connected through ADAT) that acts as master.

it's possible, but the Lunabox should slave to zlink. try making Scope master, just to test...
do you have zlink dest modules in the routing window? afaik, the Luna boxes would need them for the sync signal.

I will give it a try tomorrow as I'm not at home today.
Apart of that - it seems there is a limit of 32 channels on the ASIO modules. can I overcome this somehow and make use of more input channels in cubase ? i couldn't find an answer to this question in the forum although I searched a lot.

It was the sync settings. After changing it the Power LED went on and everything works just fine. Thanks a lot for your kind help. Together with the "more than 32 channels" I am happy.
Cheers
