What operating systems are you using? We have an exposure time glitch
in Axiovision 3 on a computer running WindowsNT, and I suspect it's
related to NT more than it is Axiovision (a communication problem
between the computer and the video card).

http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Hi Alejandro,
this is very interesting....
I have a Zeiss LSM 510 mounted on an Axiovert 200M and recently we
have been doing a lot of simultaneous DIC and fluorescent imaging and
getting a similar problem to you - except that in our case it always
says that the hardware was busy for more than 5 seconds! Clearly our
hardware is even less happy at being busy for long periods of time
than yours...
Just for the record, we are on vs. 3.2 of the software, so if your
Zeiss rep ever suggests that upgrading the software will help I'm
afraid it probably won't. Sometimes it's enough to re-boot the
software, sometimes we have to switch the microscope off and on, and
other times we have to restart the whole computer to get things to
work smoothly again.
Are there others out there who have encountered the same problem too?
Please let us know - I'd like to get this resolved too. Any comments
from the Zeiss team???
Best wishes,
Alison

Greetings to all<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =

I am starting the operation of a LSM5 Pascal mounted on an Axiovert
200M with the 2.8 version of LSM5 program. While the microscope can
normally respond, it sometimes develops trouble when going from
visible into Scanning mode. If this hapens, the programfreezes up and
will not permit any operation (opens a “switch to” or “retry”
window). After a while, it unfreezes, opens an error log window
(Object: CscanController: Hardware busy for more than 6 sec………
Object: ClsmObject: FW1 is busy), and begins to scan. The local
Zeiss representative was very surprised and is looking for help on
his end, but I have a line of people waiting to use the equipment!
I welcome all comments towards resolving this problem!
Thank you
