HI Andy,<BR>
<BR>
Amrit talked to me about this issue this morning. <BR>
Pablo and I will take a look at the cRio controller this morning.<BR>
We need help from Xiangdong or Mike in locating the controller. We don't know the location of this hardware. <BR>

hi andy,<BR>
after discussing the matter with patrizia, patrizia has advised us to investigate the problem today.<BR>
so, we'll be looking into this issue to report to patrizia the condition of the system tomorrow.<BR>

Hi Amrit,<BR>
<BR>
In case it's of help, the failure of the real-time controller may have been<BR>
triggered by the power outage last Wednesday, after which various components<BR>
(eg. Pumps, valves) went to a state they shouldn't have been in. At least<BR>
there appears to be this time coincidence, although the controller is<BR>
powered through a UPS.<BR>
<BR>
There is some urgency here. We have liquid helium on order to begin a<BR>
cool-down next Monday, 8/15. Your help would be appreciated.<BR>
<BR>
Andy<BR>
