Why does reopening Lookout 5.1 build 8 once a day stop radio polling crashes?

[lroot75]

Polling 9 sites by radio has resulted in almost daily stoppage of Lookout process.  At that time nothing is polled and the process stops taking in new information.  To fix the problem the process must be reopened.  While trying a fix, it was noted that if we reopened the process once a day before stoppages, that there would be no stoppage.  Is this an issue only with Lookout 5.1?

I guess the fix you said is the one on the NI website.

Do you mean you were told by the fix that "if we reopened the process once a day before stoppages, that there would be no stoppage"?

We first need to locate where the problem is. So, which driver object do you use in your process?

Do you log the data to Citadel database?

Are you using the "alternator object"?  Inputs connected to the "response" data member can cause crashes on all versions of Lookout.

We are using Aquatrol drivers for some sites and Modbus for other sites. 

We are not using the Alternator object.

Apparently there's an issue (no solution, unfortunately) with Lookout's Aquatrol Object and radio communication:
