Power-on Self Diagnostics
The PowerLab C and C Series devices perform a self test during power up. The soft ware
will run a number of system checks to verify functionality of the internal circuitry. None
of these tests calibrate or change the performance of the devices in any way, they are
used only to determine the operability of the device.
Any faults found during this procedure may be indicated in two ways.
1.
As long as USB communication is functional, errors may be reported by LabChart
when communication to the device is established.
2.
The PowerLab will also give a Red status LED if the test detects a hardware fault.
The devices contain no user-serviceable parts inside. If a hardware fault is reported
by a PowerLab C or any C Series device, an ADInstruments representative should be
contacted.
