Topic: ABRUPT POWER SHUT DOWNS ??

How vulnerable are the Nions to consistent abrupt shut downs due to unexpected power and/or UPS failures
OR
are they rugged enough to take this non graceful shutting down all the time without any hardware or software hiccups ???

Appreciate any advise or user experiences encountered so far.

MERRY X'MAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008 to all members of this forum.

Re: ABRUPT POWER SHUT DOWNS ??

I have repeatedly unplugged and replugged a unit when we were having a front panel problem, with no ill effects to the Nion or the software.  I have not heard of any users having any problems with sudden power interruptions.

Make it intuitive, never leave them guessing.

The units have been designed to tolerate this.  However, if you have short dropouts or brownouts, a UPS is a good idea.
