I've run the old Evesham XP3 machine for a while now and all is well, no problems noted, changed maps, colours, looked at data etc and all OK.
However the Mesh unit, using Windows 7, seems to have developed something whereby the "Harware connected" light turns from green to red and then reverts back to green again. I assume that it is losing connection with the ANRB and then restoring. Version 3.07 would run OK for an hour or so, then lose contact completely. At which point the screen would lock up and the only way to get out of the programme was to shut down via the main switch.
I suspect that if I leave it going for an hour or so, then the same will happen again.
Network connection however is fine.
Looks as if I will have to revert to the old Evesham again!

An update on this new problem: Contact from Mesh to ANRB is by means of 2 x active 5m lengths of USB lead. Switching around to the Evesham is by means of an extra 3m USB standard extension. This has never been a problem and still works fine. To switch back to the Mesh (windows 7), just pull out the 3m extension and plug into an available Mesh port.
However, this time to save grovelling behind the Mesh computer desk, I found a brand new 0.5m USB extension which I used as a short patch lead. This was the culprit for the short term losses of connection, I've removed that and plugged the original straight into a port, and no more "flickering contact".
It is now going to be left running to see if the problem with 3.07 returns, i.e. complete loss of connection after around 90 minutes.
