Excess knob degaussing in fw40
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:29:43 UTC
Customer reports hearing degauss cycle multiple times per minute. Since no high-level changes have been made to knob behavior, this could be a UART bug.
CC'ing Richard, he did some tricks to prevent the degaussing
I suspect they're actually being triggered by errors on the rs232, not at the knob driver level. The only thing that has been touched is the UART implementation.
To prevent the knob from degaussing a timer is used to wiggle it in the software. If some of those commands are not getting through over the rs232 I would expect excess degaussing to happen.
I've been experiencing this. I had disabled the RS232 plug-in. Enabling it seems to have solved the problem for me.
I spoke too soon. It's back again.
Must be fixed for 7.1 release.
