Ouch, that is too bad.

If you haven't filed a claim on your house insurance, you need to do that
now.  They will take care of determining what has failed.  At least, that
is what I did on a hydro surge.  This is why you pay for it.

For you 5000, the easiest test is to try another computer.  However, if the
ethernet card is gone, it will have taken most other things on the bus.
 But, sadly it is a crap shoot.

The 5000 should be written off by your insurance company as there is no way
to be 100% that you can repair it back to factory specs.  It just isn't
practical at all.

I say all the above as an ex Manager of a Ham Radio Store.  We would get
one of these per week and everyone was handled by the insurance.  We never
tried to repair anything as there was no way to guarantee it.   They also
have their professionals who do this.

We never had any trouble with any claims either.

Again, sorry to hear that.  It is a pain in the butt, but you should come
out ok.

[Flexradio] Lightning Strikes

2014-07-17 Thread Hunter Ellington via FlexRadio
Lightning hit the shack last evening.  Although everything was on surge 
protectors, spikes came in through the phone line, blew the surge protector and 
took out my DSL modem.  I further discovered that my computer seems to have 
lost its Ethernet card, and maybe the Firewire card.  The F5000A turns on, but 
the computer does not see it.  What tests can I do to determine whether the 
communication issue is with the radio, the computer, or both?

This seems to be the problem, but it doesn't say what is causing it?
*Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs):   3014.413404*

Also, LatencyMon kept working fine when I heard a bingbong and the fire
wire link dropped out? Go figure?

CONCLUSION
_
Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other
tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop
outs, clicks or pops. One problem may be related to power management,
disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for
BIOS updates.
LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for  0:09:34  (h:mm:ss) on all
processors.

_
MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES
_
The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a
usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment
the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the
scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and
the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to
that event.

Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs):   3014.413404
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs):   4.545848

Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs):   152.313974
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs):   1.826471


_
 REPORTED ISRs
_
Interrupt service routines are routines installed by the OS and device
drivers that execute in response to a hardware interrupt signal.

Highest ISR routine execution time (µs):  146.750428
Driver with highest ISR routine execution time:   ohci1394.sys - 1394
OpenHCI Port Driver, Microsoft Corporation

Highest reported total ISR routine time (%):  0.081476
Driver with highest ISR total time:   ohci1394.sys - 1394
OpenHCI Port Driver, Microsoft Corporation

Total time spent in ISRs (%)  0.091603

ISR count (execution time <250 µs):   1322047
ISR count (execution time 250-500 µs):0
ISR count (execution time 500-999 µs):0
ISR count (execution time 1000-1999 µs):  0
ISR count (execution time 2000-3999 µs):  0
ISR count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0


_
REPORTED DPCs
_
DPC routines are part of the interrupt servicing dispatch mechanism and
disable the possibility for a process to utilize the CPU while it is
interrupted until the DPC has finished execution.

Highest DPC routine execution time (µs):  271.615363
Driver with highest DPC routine execution time:   tcpip.sys - TCP/IP
