    Hello.

    If you have multiple 6850 series I GCs connected to the same acquisition node using an Equinox card, and the PC has a multi core processor, it is possible that you are seeing a manifestation of a known incompatibility between the Equinox driver and multi core CPUs (PCS 44289) that may cause intermittent communications issues.

    Could you please clarify whether this applies to your system configuration?

    Kind regards,

    Hi!

    There is only one 6850 Series I GC on each node I have tried (only one instrument connected to Equinox).

    I'm aware of the multicore/Equinox problem, so I have a quite few nodes with only one core activated

    Regards,
