B5 Messages
These messages will be logged in the application event log. They may be shown in the
computer management console:
In this example t
he LTC source has failed (“LTC source failure”)
. For details on the event log
settings please refer to the Windows documentation. The following messages may occur:
•
“System Time is hard set”:
The system time was hard
set, either by using the “Hard set”
button in the monitor program, or because the difference between the system time and the
LTC exceeded the value (in seconds) set in
“Settings / Difference for hard set”
. The shown
difference (in milliseconds) was compensated.
•
“LTC is out of limits”:
The LTC was rejected as being invalid, because the difference
between system time and the LTC exceeded the value (in seconds) set in “Set
tings /
Difference for hard set” in seconds
. As soon as this difference falls below the limit, the
“
Plura
TimeSys” service auto
matically starts the readjustment. The other possibility is to have
the system time hard set by pressing the “Hard set” button.
•
“
LTC sour
ce failure”:
The PCIe TS board fails to read a valid LTC. An LTC generated at
normal play speed is required. Please check the connections and the position set at SW3.4,
which serves to switch between balanced and unbalanced LTC.
•
“LTC user data format error”:
The user bits of the LTC fail to contain valid status
information. To have the system time readju
sted by the “
Plura
TimeSys” service, the settings
“Format of date” and “Time
zone” have to accord
with the format of the connected LTC
source.
•
“Can’t open
Plura
TimeSys service”:
The monitor program was started but failed to open
the “
Plura
TimeSys” servic
e. To eliminate this fault, the service may be re-installed with
“
Plura
TimeSys Install” from “St
art / Programs / Plura
PCI TS”.
•
“Hardware not found”:
No PCIe TS board was found at the given base address. Possible
reasons can be a wrong address or overlaps with other boards. Please check SW1 of the
PCIe TS
board and “Settings / LTC board base address” in the monitor program.
