RS4 Interface Becomes Slow or Unresponsive
Researchers who use the OpenEx preview mode extensively may find the interface to
behave sluggishly. The RS4 does not throw out data recorded while in preview
mode. Data recorded in preview mode is stored as unnamed data on the RS4 and
is readily distinguishable from legitimate data recorded during an actual experiment.
TDT recommends removing unnecessary data remaining on the storage array.
RS4 Is Not Correctly Naming Data
When connected to an active network, TDT's OpenEx software sends information to
the RS4 via a broadcast UDP packet allowing it to properly name the streaming data
sent to the RS4. If the RS4 is powered on before connecting the necessary network
cables it may default to the basic naming format:
\data\Event name-year-month-day-hour-minute-second\unnamed.sev
Power off the RS4, connect all the necessary cables then power the RS4 back on.
Port Tab Errors
Below is an example of errors that can be encountered on the Port tab.
Ports that are not currently installed will be displayed in grayed out text. In most
cases it is normal to see 3 of the 4 Streams disabled (since RS4 devices come
installed with 1 or 4 data ports). Hardware failures can cause all ports to be grayed
out. If you encounter this issue, contact TDT.
Array status messages will determine whether or not a storage array is currently
installed properly. If the NOT READY status is displayed, the storage array may
require reformatting (Check the Status tab for more details). See "Storage Array
Types" on page 2-20 for information on reformatting.
