Subject: Re: Calibrating PolySix VCF section on KLM-366 question

From: "sigma.draconis" <mreuvekamp@xs4all.nl>
Date: 2012-04-12

Finaly got time to dive in this problem again.
After concluding that the basic waveforms also are not correct, I found out that there was, shame on me, en loosy(?) connector.

After reconnecting it, everything works the way it has to be, and I could finalize the calibration process.
No strange things yet :-)

Thanks for all help!
