Subject: [LCtalk] out of sync
From: MisterJ

Hello

I'm using the lanbox lcm with a serial connection for some days now in a real theatre environment. It's working almost perfectly. From time to time (say about 3 times per evening) the serial connection seems broken during some seconds. The green block on the bottom of the control window is orange, and above that there's a message "out of sync". If I issue a command then (go to next step for example), it says "command timeout". After a few seconds, the block turns green again, and it continues to work perfectly for some time (1/2 hour, one hour, sometimes longer...).

The serial connection-wire seems connected properly. The computer is a windows 2000 machine. It is not very hot or cold or so in the room.. I do not understand what I could be doing wrong.

The problem has never occured on critical moments until now, but that could ofcourse happen in the future.

Any ideas?

thanks,
Jan Van Besien
