This is an overly verbose indication of the NLDN product not having
any data -- you can ignore it.

>Any suggestions as to where to start looking?

When there is data, you should see messages indicating that flash records
are being decoded.  These will look like:

Dec 17 00:00:59 nldn2md[10859]: NLDN2MD -- BEGIN
Dec 17 00:00:59 nldn2md[10859]: PRODUCT CODE=LD          2003350     235400
Dec 17 00:00:59 nldn2md[10859]: Appending to MD file: 80
Dec 17 00:00:59 nldn2md[10859]: NLDN2MD - Flash events in file: 29759
Dec 17 00:00:59 nldn2md[10859]: NLDN2MD -- DONE

So, if you are seeing both kinds of messages, everything is working
fine.

>Thanks, -Neil

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
