I have read the messages regarding this problem with interest
because I have NOT seen it here with the Facscan we have had for
4+ years.
It would seem improbable that power line problems at different
institutions would affect just the SSC. I would suspect that the
problem is more fundamental.
We do not use a BD computer system for data collection or
instrument control. Having built our own system it is relevant
to note that we found the computer interface on our Facscan to
have a very shaky design. When updating some instrument
parameters, other ones change without reason, so our control
routines have to be very carefully done. Since data and
instrument control are handled through the same interface, that
would be a place to focus on. In particular, it would be
relevant to see if certain configurations and data rates cause
this problem, while others do not.
