IDTF :Parity Error

[skelly]

I just received an IDTF:Parity error, while running a program. This is the first time I've seen this type of error. Any ideas what is causing it?

Brown and sharpe Excel 12.20.10
Ver 3.5 no MR
Sharpe 32 controller.

I heard about Parity on computer RAM !!! I am not sure is that same or another definition. Is your computer controller working alright?

Mid-afternoon yesterday I tried to run a program, but it would not run. I exited PCDMIS and restarted it, and received the CMM NOT RESPONDING error. I have received this before on 3 occasions, the last 2 times a complete reboot, (controller and computer) and it was business as usual. The first time it ever happened we had to have a new HD and motherboard installed on the controller (2004).
I tried rebooting several times yesterday with no success, called support, left a message, and I'm currently waiting for a return call.
This morning, I tried it again and everything was OK, at first, then I got the Parity error while running a program.

Do you have a SMA agreement. ?????

Is this an error generated by PCDMIS or one generated by your Computer(ie Windows)

We have an SMA, and it is a PCDMIS generated error.
