And so forth, The power on is where it has self-rebooted.
I have checked the 12V lines (I know it says -12V) and all are 12V or near enough.
Can't seem to find a -12V regulator anywhere.
If someone with a Z3816A would mind measuring the PSU output voltages for me to compare?
Also, has anyone seen this before?

Secondly, is there any way to stop is going into TOD transmit mode on power up?
It seriously breaks my monitoring programs.
