authorization code

[dougmsbbs]

Why would the CW all of a sudden stop and ask for the authorization code again?

I ask because mine just did it. It finished a scan and then asked for the code before I could do anything else. I'm not that concerned, it took the code just fine, but I was wondering if it was a sign of something else coming up to go wrong...

I think I'm getting a little paranoid with this thing...

Thats strange i never seen that.. Hmmm... best bet is to format the card at every project.

[dougmsbbs]

Well, I didn't think of that, LG. But I have two cards, and it didn't matter which one I put in. Both did it. Kinda weird...

Is there any chance that you accidentally went into User Options and hit #8 Lock Machine?

[dougmsbbs]

I don't 'think' so. But at this point I'm willing to admit that something weird happened, and if it was user inflicted, so much the better. I can learn faster than the machine can be fixed!

Is is something to do with the Pattern Editor or other software like STL?

AL

[dougmsbbs]

No, it was the code you have to put in when you first get the machine. I'm hoping I just pushed something I shouldn't have. I don't think so, but I guess we'll see when I try to use the machine tomorrow.

Software engineers alerted. We'll see if it happens again.

I work and coordinate with Software Engineers and Scientists a lot. I hate it when we have to 'Alert' them! Calculators go flying, computers are on overdrive.. LOL
