6.
The Digidata does not work at all or it locks up the computer when doing
certain operations.
Try resetting the Digidata by turning it off and then back on. Then reboot the
computer. Refer to the SCSI Host Adapter Installation Guide to verify that the
SCSI adapter card is installed properly. Call Technical Support at Axon
Instruments if the problem persists.
7.
In Clampex 8, the Digitizer Gain cannot be changed
.
This is possible with the 12-bit Digidata 1200A/B. The Digidata 1322A does
not include a programmable digitizer gain. The higher 16-bit dynamic range and
lower noise makes a programmable gain unnecessary.
8. When troubleshooting the Digidata or your software, it is best to simplify your
software configuration by turning off all other programs. It may appear that
there are no other programs running in the background. However, this may not
be the case. To see if other programs are running in the background click on an
empty place on the desktop and then press Ctl-Alt-Del (holding these three keys
down at the same time). This will open the Task Manager in Windows 95 and
98. In Windows NT 4.0 and 2000 you then need to click on the Task Manager
button. Close all unnecessary programs running in the background.
Hint:
For optimal acquisition performance in Clampex and/or AxoScope do the

2. Configure/Program
