*Any crimp done on the sample screen is reported as INVALID because it is not analyzed. You want to look at
the crimps that are reported as INVALID in LEARN_MODE. Table 20 lists the fields where the status is
displayed.

You can turn off any analysis method that reports the crimp as INVALID. As an alternative, try your application
with one analysis method at a time to determine whether a single method is causing you problems.

Additional information for specific sensors
7.1.1 Linear Encoder
Is the correct Position Sensor selected in CQM Settings?
Is the encoder cable connected to the DAQ module?
Check for damaged encoder cable. If it is damaged, replace it.
The encoder reader head has a LED. If the cable good and is connected to the DAQ module, and the
LED is not lit, replace the encoder.
In Diagnostics mode, observe the Encoder count while jogging the terminator. These numbers should
change as the terminator RAM moves.
The encoder reader head must be spaced ~1mm from the magnetic strip. Adjust if spacing is too large.
Check for a damaged magnetic strip. If it is damaged, replace it.
7.1.2 Analog Height Sensor
Is the correct Position sensor selected in CQM Settings?
Is the cable connected to the DAQ module and the analog height sensor?
Check for damaged cable. If it is damaged, replace it.
In Diagnostics, observe the DAQ position number while jogging the terminator. These numbers should
change as the terminator RAM moves through the bottom of the stroke.
The analog height sensor must be spaced correctly in front of the passing magnets. Adjust if spacing is
too large.
Check for a damaged magnets set into the RAM. If they are damaged, the analog height sensor kit
must be replaced.
