Poll question: Techie problem, I need your help.
My Heisenberg Compensators are malfunctioning, when I try a site-to-site, resolution is under-balanced and I miss the target setting by 4.7 meters. At first, I thought that there might be a micro fracture somewhere in the main plasma conversion sensor, and I would detect leakage on a diagnostic.

So, I did a level 2 diagnostic and it came back with a faulty plasma regulator and I replaced it with a new one. You would think that that would fix the problem, but I'm still operating at minus 0.2 mega joules under what the tech manual allows.

I tried adjusting the polarity settings, still no correction, then I tried a variance algorithm, that really was a waste of precious compilation time. Anyway, there wasn't any plasma residue found on any of the arrays. Believe me, I looked. You know the last thing anyone needs is for a polyduranium bulkhead to collapse because a stray plasma stream breaks its structural integrity, right?

So this is where I need your help, should I replace the autosequencers, which will take about ten hours to do, or should I re-thread the pattern enhancer's rematerialization sub-routines to compensate for the minus 0.2 mega joule underperformance? It's a quick fix, but at least I don't have to spend an entire day remodulating phase transition coils.

Don't even bother bringing up the imaging scanner, that was given a full conductive ionization last week.

1. Did you thoroughly scan your dilitium crystals?

2. Yes, I did
Just finished a full dilithium vector calibration yesterday. Besides the crystal articulation frame in my chamber is less than a year old.

Its rated to function at peak efficiency for a full five years.

3. Sure, the manual SAYS ten hours to replace the autosequencers...
...but if you reverse the polarity on the phase regulator, you can complete the job between commercial breaks.

And that's an extra nine hours and fifty minutes on the holodeck with the Six and Seven of Nine program. Sweet.

4. You gotta reverse the polarity

5. Throw the whole thing against the wall,
then whack it with a tire iron. Works every time.

6. Replace'em
And stop using those off-brand replacements, they'll void your warranty.

7. I had much the same problem recently.
It took a while, but I finally found the solution- I simply reset the phase II recombination flow array and then rebooted the plasma regulators (remember, it's a redundant circuit- you must reboot all three subsystems in the proper sequence). The system came back completely. I didn't even have to realign the Compensators.

8. Did you try degaussing with the magneton scanner?
You should be able to degauss a transporter room in approximately five minutes with one of those babies.

9. 'Rascals' - early season 6 story involving a transporter malfunction.
:evilgrin:

A fun episode, rather better than the reputuation given to it by many.

10. Just try reversing the polarity

Of your beryllium spheres. Works like a charm.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got tribbles in my quadrotriticale to take care of.

11. Aye..Captain MrScorpio...I'm a-working as fast as me can !.
I know the Klingons are almost upon us but I'm just a poor engineer....

12. Looks like reversing the polarity did the trick
Edited on Sat Sep-29-07 06:03 PM by MrScorpio
I thought that it was going to give me an EPS discharge at first, so I raised quick containment field.

Instead it went off without a hitch. The plasma charge is well within specs and both the resolution and target settings are on point.

Now, if you don't mind, I have to recalibrate a couple of impulse sustainers in a class-4 sensor probe for use in a nearby nebula. The space has a high density of verteron particles and we want to take a gander at it.

There's a good chance we might find a new wormhole in there.

13. No, no, no! You MUST uncouple the Heisenberg converters!
It's the ONLY way, MrS. The ONLY way!!!

Quick, before it's too late!!!!

14. You have discovered Heisenberg's parodox
The syncronistic relationship between n-1 substrata and the reverse spin of higgs bison does not normally evidence itself by way of a Rheinman function. Be that as it may, this is normailsed within the context of a schroedinger zwiki as documented in LL's treatise.
