[ANSS-netops] Basalt failures?

[Lynn Simmons]

Hi David,

We currently have 19 basalts running in our network (8 have internal decks). We are running either RockToEW or RockToSlink depending on the age and location, and one running in Altus Emulation mode. We have several units that are bench testing as well.

In addition to unit with the power failure that Marc Biundo mentioned, we have one other unit that had a timing problem (the system clock was not syncing with the GPS and had an error message RockFrontEnd: Large OS Time adjustment requires reboot). Kinemetrics has repaired the unit with the timing problem and the only note on the Repair Report was that they replaced the CF card.

Initially we had experienced issues in the past with rebooting but they have been resolved with Rockhound version 3.11.

We have also had issues with box cars and noise with the internal Basalts on older units where the magnets do not have a nickle plate. Tom Yelin has more details on this problem.

Regards,
Lynn
