Replacing the controller is a good idea. It just has to wait until Oct 1 when additional funds become available. Please make a note to order one then.<BR>

Pablo and I investigated the IBC real-time controller failure in the HDice lab this morning. <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Upon arrival we saw that the controller was not connecting to the host computer. In addition, a status light indicated that the software on the controller was corrupted.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
We reloaded the entire base system software onto the controller. Several resets were needed to bring the system back on-line. The IBC LabView software was then deployed to the controller and started via the host computer. <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
The system is now working and was demonstrated to Mike Lowry.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Given this type of failure, we strongly recommend that this outdated controller be replaced ASAP and then updated to the latest version of LabVIEW. <BR>
