Issue Number |
Description |
351 |
General: Rarely, if ctpimager.exe exits unusually, (killed by task manager or dies) the Cobra can become unresponsive and subsequent attempts to connect fail. The simple cure is to shutdown the front end PC, power off the PC and the Cobra, and then power up and re-boot. It is not sufficient to only power cycle the Cobra. |

CtPImager: Occasionally, just after login, a dialog pops up reporting CtPImager was unable to write to its log file. This is currently under investigation, there is no work-around other than to simply cancel the dialog. |
415 |
General: If the USB cable is disconnected during operation this may not be flagged by the software. The system may become un-responsive. There is no work-around, the user must reconnect the USB and reboot the front-end PC. |
470 |
General: When aborting a job, if there are no more jobs in the queue the system may indicate an error occurred, and, if sound is enabled, play the error has occurred alert, even though the job becomes marked as: user aborted job. There is no work-around; users need to simply be aware of this. |
471 |
General: When aborting a job, or shutting down, the system may briefly indicate the user should remove a plate even though one is not loaded, and if sound is enabled the system may partially play the remove plate alert. There is no work-around; users need to simply be aware of this. Note: in most circumstances the system will correctly request that the user removes the plate. |

Test Tool: Engine Calibrations: Register Bar Settings: When negative slow axis offsets are applied the image output fails with e_BallScrew_BadPosition. The work-around is to re-calibrate the RHS Reference Opto to Drum Start setting to the opposite side so a positive offset can be applied to the side, which is now requiring adjustment. E.g.: Side B required negative adjustment. Reset the side B offset to zero, and Save the calibration. Recalibrate the RHS Reference Opto to Drum Start to side B, with a zero slow offset for the register bar side B. Then recalibrate side A for a positive offset. We anticipate making a service pack release to remedy this issue. |
