Re: I need another CAN-Do Module
Juan:
I talked with Stephen. He is testing your replacement module. He and I both feel that the likelihood you have a faulty one is low but that there is no harm in testing this since it does turn out to be the module, it will prevent you from having to dig into the RX.
Now let us suppose you receive the widget and you cannot get the PLL's to function.
To what extent does the receiver function now? Does it function well enough to demonstrate at the annual meeting? If so, why not do non destructive testing if at all possible and try to get it to run before we give up completely on it.

Bob,
It is currently completely dead. The two synthesizers have to be programmed using an initialization file via the CAN-Do module. I sent one of the files to Stephen to look at, but those files have been working fine for months so this net controller crash issue is almost certainly not important at the moment. (there is a different file for each frequency and depending if I'm on internal or external reference.)
The CAN-Do module appears to be working from all outward signs but it looks like nothing is making it to either synthesizer. I'm sure we'll get it fixed by the symposium but I would rather try the easy things first.

Great. We are on the same page here. Let me know how I can help. Jim is busting his backside with the rest up there getting ready and I want to help him as much as possible.
