what is a seriador?

Local time: 03:53
The serializer is giving an error.
Explanation:
With so much context, we can only guess :(

It might refer to a parallel-to-serial data converter, often known as a 'serializer'. If it's not working correctly, it might issue an error message such as 'Serializer fault'.

The serial changer gives an error


Explanation:
As Mediamatrix states, we have little to go on but having investigated and using your reference to medical instruments, I think the suggestion is a fair one, another option would be "The spot film device gives an error" but you would need to check with your client.

The web references are pretty good, the first has a Spanish and English version, the second goes into some depth about techniques.

Here are some other links, hope it all helps!

Example sentence(s):
  • EVOLUTION HV tables accept all sizes of image intensifier up to 40 cm (16"), with or without serial changer

Reference information:
Serializers

Goal
This document lists all of the available serializers of Apache Cocoon and describes their purpose.

Overview
A serializer is the end point of an xml pipeline. It transforms SAX events into binary or char streams for final client consumption. Every pipeline match containing a generator must be terminated by a serializer.

Is this what you are looking for?

Peer comments on this reference comment (and responses from the reference poster)
disagree  xxxmediamatrix: That is not a generic definition of 'serializer'. It is relevant only to Apache Cocoon, which is about 1000 light-years distant from the minimal context we have from Asker.
1 hr
  -> How do you know that it is "1000 light-years distant from the minimal context we have" when all we have is "El seriador da un error". It quite possibly could have to do with this. Also notice I asked the question "Is this what you are looking for?"
