fieldmixer Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Just upgraded to 6.16 from 4.45 I believe. Reset to factory default first. I've seen this flashing error reported a while back but not for a while. Definitely not since the new software releases. The search is terrible and didn't find too much on google either. What is this error mean and what it it's purpose. Anyone else on 6.16 still seeing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 It is a non fatal warning and it is nothing to freak out about - it is generally a card related issue. If you go to the advanced setup menu and turn on the "Allow Logging" feature. Then nomad will log the *B errors and you can see exactly what is causing the *B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldmixer Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I did that, logging the errors, not positive what it means technically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fieldmixer Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 That would be great. I love attempting to understand things of this nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Hirtenstein Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 if i recall it means something like a file got written across different segments on the mirror card?? i just restored defaults and formatted cards and I was fine, but this was way back on 4.45 or so.

howy Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 If you upgrade software from a very old version be sure to do the Factory Restore AFTER you install the firmware. I don't see any warnings on that screen. I would look at the logging screen just after you see the *B pop up for the first time. -howy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldmixer Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 The screenshot was taken while the "b" icon was coming up every 5-10 seconds. While watching that screen numbers were appearing incrementally at the bottom. 303132333435 etc... I did the factory reset before install, and installed immediately after. Anything further I should do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek H Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Hey Howy, For updates is it okay to load your settings off a CF card AFTER resetting to factory defaults or do you really just need to re-enter all settings manually after update? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldmixer Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 No. more efficient for the company, don't bother reception, interrupt programming auto mix, and other magic. And one Answer here could save dozens/hundreds of phone calls slowing every one down. What? Do you have shares in telecom companies? I suggest you start your own board and compulsively moderate there. Please and thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fieldmixer Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Curious the difference between restoring to factory setting just BEFORE installing new software as to restoring AFTER. What technically happens, or is the difference. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By re importing the setting brings the possibility of importing some funky setting that you just reset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masaki Hatsui Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 I'm not sure if it helps, but once I had this *B type error, a re-format of card (primary and mirror) cured the problem. I suggest you try first with another newly reformated mirror card, and second newly reformated primary card to see if this is the very reason causes the *B error.

hobbiesodd Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 I get this error every time I switch between primary folders. I’ve found that if I want to switch folders I need to power down before I record again. This keeps the *B error away.
