Hi Leslie,


Though your problem seems solved, here is my tuppence worth on this subject.

I had the same problem but for jumping from H2 to CO on our system 
(Delta-plus-XP) running Isodat2 when the software occasionally 'lost' the 
magnet position for CO (resulting in ??? in the gas configuration).

My solution was to uninstall and reinstall Isodat and create everything 
from scratch using the Configurator. However, after some many crashes to 
novely wears off and with helpful hints from the boys at Bremen, I 
proceeded using the solution Anthony mentioned, i.e. creating a backup copy 
of the entire set of fully functional configuration and setup files in a 
separate directory, and just copy them into the right directory (after 
deleting the corrupt file) if the situation warrants it.

So, what's new I hear you cry? Well, of late, my software crashes during 
acquisition near the magnet jump but without displaying a fancy error 
message. The system just freezes though the status indicator implies the 
data acquisition is still running. Only solution, reset / reboot of the PC.

Checking the configuration files shows everything is as it should be. No 
nasty question marks but the correct magnet position is displayed. Several 
jump test runs show nothing untoward. (Before anybody asks, no, the PC only 
runs Isodat, nothing runs in the background or in parallel, and I mean 
absolutely nothing).

For anything from 2 to 10 days the system behaves fine, only to crash again 
the moment one'sback is turned. So far, even the boys at Bremen are puzzled 
but, as Anthony says, a new SP has been released and the hope is this will 
cure this problem too.


Regards,

Wolfram
