We gave the output and I shall probably never forget the face expression of the technician there, trying to figure out what it actually is, before even thinking how to cope with it :-)

It was more like a question, not answer ;-) Like "WTF". We gave them signal but nothing showed on their equipment. They repatched cables on the panel to put the 64 directly on one of the monitors and - yes - the blue-on-blue was there! So they wanted to put it on the wfm/vec (at that time I didn't understand much of what they were doing) but - the way I understood the words - that one somehow "went nuts". And that was when the priceless expression started to appear :-D it was like somebody who ate his teeth doing something every day, suddenly loses ground and all the routine/confidence in his professional knowledge.
