Hi

The ISODAT running our MAT253 used to crash randomly during acquisition 
because we had the computer connected to the Internet. The anti-virus 
software which operates in the background caused conflict with the 
acquisition so we had to disconnect the system from the network.
Once we did this it was fine.

Regards

John
