strange happenings

July 19, 2006

I have been experiencing something strange on my desktop at work. I

use mainly BM module and BE software. Computer is about 4 months old

and has all top notch stuff for work. Everything has been fine until

about a week ago. Only one channel works! I had someone set up to a 2

channel protocol and only one side was working! I tried switching

electrodes figuring it must be the electrodes and still the same

thing. So then I thought well something is wrong with my module so

then I switched modules to a different BM module. The same thing

happened! SO today I put the pendant on and believe it or not the

same thing. Everything is fine if it is a one channel protocol but a

two channel and the second one doesn't work!! Has anyone ever hear of

this before? My friend is coming up this weekend and I was thinking

about having him dump BE and reinstall it. Any thoughts on this?

The first and most obvious thing to check is to make sure both source

objects have hardware selected.

The next thing would be to see uninstall and reinstall BE just to make

sure the drivers are not corrupted. (happened to me once)

If that does not help you may have a serial (or USB port) problem

Is the BMr using a USB to serial adaptor and using the same port as the

Pendant?

If so the adaptor may be bad. KeySpan and IO gear make adaptors that

work well.

Hope this helps

Do the BMr and pendant use the same port?

I would check and make sure that the source (channel) is assigned a devicein the design. If only one channel has a device assigned then only one channelwill work.Larrydrsharrie wrote: I have been experiencing something strange on my desktop at work.

That

happened to me once, and what we figured out was that under devices, I can only

have either brainmaster checked or pendant checked. When both were highlighted, I ended up with

only one channel displaying.
