2pm daily, Myriads hardware commands fails to trigger the IRN channel on one of our Alice Air 2000 desks.
We have 2 identically equipped studios, one works fine the other does this. Also tonight it failed to fire the channel at 7pm.
I check the hardware config from the pc and it fires the desk fine if i check it manually.

We've finally solved the mystery!

Studio 2 runs itself overnight and into news headlines at 7, the brekfast show presenter prefers studio 1 so takes control from there for the weather extro out of the news.
Studio 1 is now off air and left til 10am when the next presenter comes in and turns off the news channel manually,The hardware config on the computer still thinks it's open. We have an automated \"power hour\" between 1-2pm and so the hardware is in use for the first time since the morning at the 2pm segue. As the hardware is already on it won't trigger again.
