Before you contact technical support have the following information ready: 

 

_______ 

Serial numbers and hardware revision numbers of all of your boards. This 
information is written on the invoice that was shipped with your products. 

_______ 

Also, each board has its serial number and revision number written on either in 
ink or in bar-code form. 

_______ 

The version of the ALRT, ALFAST, or FASTLIB software that you are using. 

_______ 

You can find this information in a file in the directory:  

\usr\alfast\alinfo 

_______ 

The type and version of the host operating system, i.e., Windows 98. 

_______ 

Note the types and numbers of all your software revisions, daughter card 
libraries, the application library and the compiler 

_______ 

The piece of code that exhibits the problem, if applicable.  If you email Alacron 
the piece of code, our Technical-Support team can try to reproduce the error.  It is 
necessary, though, for all the information listed above to be included, so 
Technical Support can duplicate your hardware and system environment.
