<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Hi, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>my name is Titus Franzmann. I am running
the analytical in Johannes Buchners Lab in Munich, Germany.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I guess this is an old issue, but maybe
someone knows the solution to our problem. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>We are running an XL-I which was upgraded from
an XL-A several years ago. Attached to the machine is a standard PC. This seems
to be the problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>When recording IP scans, after an irregular
number of scans (can be after 5 or after 400, and any scan number in between) the
error message: “COM: Resetting Com Port” appears. In most cases the
machine fails to scan. The program does not freeze, I can stop the scan and
start an new method. It appears as if the communication gets lost over a certain
time-out period. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I tired to fix this issue with 5 different
PCs (PII to AMD Athlon 1700XP) attached to our XL-I, running Win95 and Win98SE,
with Beckman XL Software 4.5, respectively. I also made sure that all COM-Port
settings are as Beckman suggests, and as well as posted here in the RASMB
forum. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Does anyone know a solution to this issue
or do we have to go and buy the Windows XP upgrade, as standard PCs fail to
word and the old IBM PCs are no longer available?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Thank you and best regards from Munich<o:p></o:p></span></p>
