Well that would be a response from the VME bus. Is the PCBoard, the only controller on the buss, or is there a second controller that talks to interface boards etc. If so you might just have a problem with the second controller. Check the control sig

We use a normal off the shelf (Best Buy) mini fridge. As far as the temp readings, I got some USB dataloggers from Omega and stick them in there. Download the data to your PC every couple of weeks (Outlook reminder). I also use these for our Nitrogen
