Actually, this is a strawman. The "Port Off" utility was a patch for
a incompatability between the 1.1 firmware and collection software
(the collection software would open a particular TCP port to the
firmware, but not listen for events that came back on that port.
Eventually - after about 8 runs or so - there was a TCP buffer
overflow).
Firmware version 1.2 does not sent events on that particular port by
default, even if it has been opened.
The Foil Piercing problems are completely separate. I will forward
this report to the guy who developed the Sample Transfer system. He
might have some idea of what's going on.
