Topic: XDAB error message

I have a question, what will cause XDAB error, I copied Nion log file, see bellow:

How to know what's the reason?

Re: XDAB error message

Looks like a bad cable from here... Make sure you use only the 'blessed' shielded cable in the xdab ring. Whats the configuration like ?

Re: XDAB error message

Thank you, Michel.

These cables are PEAVEY support to us, but maybe there has some bad cables I should check. As we have a 12 Nion stack, we didn't link from the last unit to the first unit, we used advanced XDAB II connection, (1 to 3, 3 to 5, 5 to 7...)

Re: XDAB error message

How many XDAB channels are you using?  We've found with larger systems (many NIONs) XDAB channel counts should be kept well below 500 even though the original spec of the XDAB exceeded 500.

Thanks,

Joe

Re: XDAB error message

We using 400~450 XDAB channels
