Luna Card Communications Error
Posted: Wed Jun 10, 2015 10:22 pm
Hi There,
I am running a Win 7 pro, 32bit PCI 5.1 scope setup with a Luna and pulsar 2 cards installed.
This is my second setup as I have XITE-1 running on a 64Bit machine.
I began experiencing communication errors on Scope startup.
It suggests the problem can be rectified by reloading DSP's.
That worked on occasions for a while.
Other times I would launch for a second time and all would be good.
I also noted that I began to get communication errors when I closed Scope down.
This did not affect anything so I did nothing about it.
Anyway, now the communication errors are constant and I can no longer load Scope at all, (Scope is licenced to the Luna Card).
Removing the Luna card, Scope it tries to load with Pulsar but cannot find a licence of course. This tells me the problem is with the Luna card.
I cleaned the gold edge connectors and tried moving the card to another slot, all with the same end result.
I note the computer says the card is working properly so I don't think it is the drivers.
I did 'repair' Scope with no change.
Could my default project be causing an issue - resulting in a DSP overload type issue?
This project has been used for at least the last year, but may be corrupt?
It uses about 1 DSP, so it not heavy in itself.
Could it be hardware?
Any thoughts would be appreciated
Regards
