Computer & Mouse reacts Strangely
It can happen the computer is working strangely and the mouse moving alone all over the
screen. This is due to the DADS Terminal is sending all the time data to the computer and if
you restart the computer without turning OFF the equipment, the computer will recognize
and install the DADS Terminal as a mouse.
The right thing to do is to switch the DABS (or DADS) OFF and restart the PC.
When the PC is completely started, then start the DABS (or DADS) and the program, see
what happen along the time.
DADS Test Program
If after all there is still a problem, when you lose the connection try to use our Terminal small
testing program "
Test DADS
" which you can start in <<
Start \ Programs \ HITEC
Applications \ DBP Absorption Data System \ Test Dads
>> taskbar menu.
When you start the program, be
sure to enter the good COM port
number, normally if you have
only one COM port available on
computer's motherboard, it is the
COM port N°1. If it is not the
case, try to see which one is the
good COM port.
When the windows of the
program opens, at the
bottom in the "Terminal"
zone, you will see a
continuous flow of data
displayed in the "Input"
box, this means the
computer is getting the
data coming from the
equipment;
A 1st test which you can try, is to look on the "Other" zone, and click on "
" button
and check if the same message written in the box is displayed on the display from
DADS terminal box. If the message is displayed, then is a good news because we
see the COM from Computer to the Equipment is working;
The 2nd Test you can try is to run the motor. In the "Relais" zone you have to click on
the "
Motor 1
" button to set the Motor value to 1, at the same time a relay inside the
Terminal DADS box has being activated. Then you can go on the equipment and
push on
“
Start
” button to run the motor, in the zone you will see “Running” changing
to 1. If the motor runs, then we are sure the communication between the Terminal
and the Computer is working.
You can also
click on the “
Diagnostic
” button and follow the instructions on screen.
The DADS Terminal will be completely tested, just follow or skip the steps not
wanted.
