APPENDIX `A': Troubleshooting Guide
The following section outlines some of the most common problems encountered by users of the
Micro Pressure Sensor. A brief list of suggested solutions has been provided. If the difficulties
persist, please do not hesitate to contact the
AML Oceanographic
service staff.
Problem:
Micro Pressure Sensor does not communicate with the computer.
Solutions:
Check the power supply for correct voltage setting (8-26 Volts DC) and or current limiting.
The serial port chosen is incorrect. Most IBM-PC compatible computers have only one serial
port; therefore the user should choose one of the COM1 settings. However, if a COM2 port
exists, the user must take care in determining which port the cable has been connected to and
choose the appropriate baud rate/port combination.
The communications set up of the computer is incorrect. The Micro Pressure Sensor will be
factory set to no parity, 1 stop, 8 data bits and will automatically determine the baud rate after
the reception of an <
