PowerLab Owner’s Guide
An internal problem has been discovered by the diagnostic self-test
(this is performed by the PowerLab each time it powers up).
•
Turn everything off, and then after at least five seconds turn the
PowerLab back on again. This should clear a temporary problem.
If not, then the PowerLab may need repair. Take note of the
flashing pattern, and consult your ADInstruments distributor.
The computer refuses to boot with the PowerLab connected, or the
computer can’t find the PowerLab
The PowerLab is off or the power is switched off at the wall, the
power cable is not connected firmly, or a fuse has blown.
•
Check switches, power connections, and fuses.
A poor connection between PowerLab and computer, or bad cable.
•
Ensure that the cable is firmly attached at both ends and try
again. If there is still a problem, try a new cable.
SCSI problems: two SCSI devices on the bus have the same SCSI ID,
or termination is incorrect or unsuitable.
•
Check that each device has a unique ID number and that the SCSI
chain is terminated correctly. (As a last resort, if the PowerLab is
the only connected SCSI device, try leaving it unterminated.)
The SCSI adapter card is incompatible with the computer or the
PowerLab or both. We cannot guarantee that the PowerLab will work
reliably with a card we did not supply.
•
Try another card, preferably one we supplied.
The PowerLab has an internal problem or has ‘hung’.
•
Turn everything off, and then after at least five seconds turn the
PowerLab back on again. Turn on the computer and try using the
software again.
The PowerLab is connected via USB and the computer does not
properly support USB.
