Setup Troubleshooting 

Symptoms and Actions 

The board works with the Diagnosis Program but not with an application. 
The Diagnosis Program has been created using the driver API functions. If the board works with the 
Diagnosis Program, it will work with other applications. Review the program, paying attention to the 
following points. 
-  Check the return values of functions. 
-  Refer to the source code of sample program. 
Refer to the “Troubleshooting” in API-TOOL(WDM) HELP (APITOOL.chm)
