Ion Questions and Ramblings

1.  What happens when an Ion hangs on boot up?  It just freezes, and doesn't work?  This is a pertinent issue.

 

2.  What's the quickest way to drop all channels to zero?  I thought maybe hitting [Enter] would grab all used channels, and then I could double-tap [Out], but that's not the case.  What's the quickest way for me to do this?

 

3. When patching a channel to multiple intensity only addresses, it makes an extra unused part.  Case Example:  One channel, two lekos: Channel 5 @ Address 10 + Address 12 --> 5.1 - BLANK, 5.2 - 10, 5.3 - 12.  What's going on here?

  • Ion hangs at bootup-

     

    We had that problem here at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs NY.

    are there any audible beeps?This happened to my console. Three beeps, than hang on ION screen. I had to open that puppy up and reseat the memory SIM.

    Call ETC factory tech support, they will send you a series of photos on how to open it up (not simple! definately call them!) and talk you thru the memory reseating, which is simple.

    Opening and closing the board are much harder than reseating the SIM.

    Once this was done, everything worked fine.

     

    good luck

    That is the biggest thing I miss from the Insight 3.  Easy access to the circuit board for cleaning and a nifty little storage compartment.  The little black box was a very good place to keep a spare key to the sensor rack!

    I guess with more computer guts going into the consoles, ETC doesn't want them to be as easy to open for security reasons.
