AMMRL: Problem with sample changer and ICONNMR

Colleagues:

    Recently a problem with our SampleXpress Lite has appeared. During
an automated sequence the run will terminate with the following error
message:

Sample Changer Fatal Error: Error: Error: STOP_CHANGER 99 117.310.064:Unknown error


I have observed the following behavior when the error occurs:
   a) The samplechanger flashes red for a brief moment;
   b) The sample is ejected momentarily, then inserted back into the probe (the light is purple at this point);
   c) The automation software then issues the error, and the samplechanger light turns green.

The error occurs randomly and does not affect manual operation (i.e. the sx ej and sx # commands work fine). Has anyone encountered this problem? Any advice would be appreciated.

Regards,
Bill
