Note that with the latest firmware and/or driver (not sure which), the device name changed. This caused PowerSDR to not want to talk to it. We have since addressed this and the fix is in PowerSDR v1.16.1.

Maybe someone else can chip in here. I have already downloaded the latest firmware for the Presonus. Standing by 73 Al -----Original Message----- From: Tim Ellison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 11:20 PM To: Al Ward; flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: RE: [Flexradio] Multiple 5000a's Al, Unfortunately, Windows makes it just about impossible to change any IRQs due to Plug-n-Play. You have to physically mode the Firewire card to a different bus slot to get the IRQ to possibly change. The problem may be an ASIO driver conflict and if that is the case, then adding an additional Firewire or changing it's IRQ probably will not make any difference. I know that the Personus can be a bit "quirky" and this may be one of the quirks. I no longer have a Personus to test it with. Maybe someone else on the Reflector is using a SDR1K with a Firebox and a F5K on the same computer can add something to help get through the lock ups. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Al Ward Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 6:02 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Multiple 5000a's Tim I know with the 5000, I brought up the Presonus box and its control panel seemed to be happy. I did not start any Flex software for the Presonus at this point. I then fired up the 5000 and the quad core just hung up before the flex software got through its start up. Had to do a hard restart. This happened several times on both machines. I even tried using the second firewire port on the 5000 and that did not work either. Should I buy a second firewire card? I also saw someone else on this reflector talking about IRQs and firewire cards. Is there some setup stuff I should look at? Thanks for all the help 73 Al W5LUA -----Original Message----- From: Tim Ellison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 10:56 PM To: Al Ward; 'Phil Theis'; flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: RE: [Flexradio] Multiple 5000a's That might work, but without know exactly what the error is, it is hard to say if that will defiantly fix it or not. Will it work if either the FLEX-5000 or the FA-66 is turned off on either PC? -Tim -----Original Message----- From: Al Ward [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 5:41 PM To: Tim Ellison; 'Phil Theis'; flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: RE: [Flexradio] Multiple 5000a's Tim Back when I had my 5000 and 1000 running on the same firewire card on a dual core machine, it worked fine. That is with my 1000 using an Edirol FA-66. Since then the 1000 is on the dual core and the 5000 on a quad core. Now when I try to use a Presonus Firebox and Softrock with either machine, neither machine wants to have anything to do with the Presonus Firebox. However the Presonus Firebox works fine on my laptop with a PCMCIA to firewire card. Do I need another dedicated firewire card on the other machines?

But to be sure, I'd get Eric's recommendation. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phil Theis Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 4:20 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Multiple 5000a's Can I run multiple instances of PowerSDR on the same computer? [Tim] Yes, but it is dependent on the types of radios you are using. You can currently run a FLEX-5000 and an SDR-1000 together without any problems as long as the programs are in separate folders using separate databases. Multiple FLEX-5000s have the issue regarding enumerating the devices on the Firewire bus and getting the right radio associated with the correct PowerSDR instance and the correct version of the ASIO driver. I understand this is being worked on for the upcoming FLEX-3000 specific release of PowerSDR and that should be applicable to using multiple FLEX-5000s connected to the same computer/Firewire host adapter. What is the impact of changing radios per instance of PowerSDR? [Tim] Syncing the EEPROM data from the radio with the PowerSDR database associated with the instance running. Will it sense the sn change and replace the eeprom data? [Tim] That is the way it should work. Just checking before I try. thanks Phil K3TUF _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
