Feathertouch USB Microtouch timeout

[leinad]

The other night I had the chance to use the Wireless Microtouch with Feathertouch focuser.
I found often that after a period of no use the unit would timeout and I had to unplug and replug the usb cable and connect to get functionality back.

Im using Windows 7, and this is the first time of use so Im not sure if this is a Windows 7 issue or a feature of Microtouch?

Has anyone come across this?

It might be similar to Marks TV card problem here -> http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=56954

Thanks Robin, that makes sense ad might do the trick :thumbsup:
Come to think of it I've noticed this when the computer is idle and the mouse won't immediately respond which seems to be the same thing.

I'll give this a go now.

Windows 7 is Green software. Use it or lose it is the other moto :D

Looks like it did the trick :thumbsup:
No timeout so far after an hour.

Thanks :)
