abstract = {Since the commissioning of the modulators in the European
XFEL in 2016, it happened from time to time that the
modulator control system hung up. The reason for the problem
was unknown at that time. Initially, the MTBF (Mean Time
Between Failure) was 10⁴ days, which was so rare that
other problems with the RF system clearly dominated and were
addressed first. Over the next 2 years, the error became
more frequent and occurred on average every 18 days. After
the winter shutdown of the XFEL in 2020, the problem became
absolutely dominant, with an MTBF of 2 days. Therefore, the
fault was investigated with top priority and was finally
identified. Two units of the control electronics communicate
via USB 2.0 with the main server. Using special measurement
technology, it was possible to prove that weak signal levels
in the USB signal led to bit errors and thus to the crash of
the control electronics. This article describes the
troubleshooting process, how to measure the signal quality
of USB signals and how the problem was solved in the end.},
