Hello Ian,
It's a pity that I don't have a spare card.

Regards,
Huijuan

Hello Huijuan,

Reading back through your posts, it appears that the MaxV card in
question was previously working correctly. Do you have a spare card that
you could try in its place? 
At Diamond, we have had a number of MaxV cards die on us, some of which
exhibited VMEbus addressing issues and two of which created a lot of
smoke!

Regards,
Ian

Ron,
Thanks. I checked that the firmware version is 1.31.1.

Huijuan,

On second thought, since dbior does not appear to
be working, you should just pull the MAXv boards
out and check the stickers on the upper left corner
for the firmware (FW) version.
