“Host is Off Line...”
The gage is configured to send thickness data through the RS-232 port,
but the gage fails to receive the correct “ready” (DSR) signal from the
external Datalogger. Verify the following:
•
External device is powered on
•
External device is set to “serial” or “RS-232” mode and is not
malfunctioning
•
Appropriate datalogging software is running (if the receiving
device is a PC)
•
Interface cable is securely fastened at both ends
•
Cable is compatible with equipment and not damaged
Note:
The serial communication parameters MUST match those
of the external device.
No Data or Garbled Data Received by External Datalogger/Host
If the gage is configured for serial or RS-232 mode, verify that the
Comport parameters under the Communication menu of the gage and
external Datalogger agree. Often, an incorrect Baud Rate is the
problem.
The Foot Switch does not Work
If the Foot Switch is not functioning correctly confirm that the
configuration is set properly on the Magna-Mike 8500 under the
Communication menu. Also, make sure the Foot Switch is fully
plugged into the jack on the top panel of the gage.
