Impulse 8004e - Manual (Page 22)

Appendix A - Troubleshooting
Following these simple steps can eliminate most common problems.
1. Install software first. After installing the software then proceed to adding the
hardware. This places the required installation files in the correct locations.
2. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install the adapter in your
system.
3. Use Device Manager under Windows to verify proper installation. Refer to the
Verifying Hardware section of this manual for instructions.
4. Several utilities with source code are included to verify the functionality of the
inputs and outputs and to aid in application development. To test the inputs, you
need to supply the turn-on voltage with a minimum of 3mA (maximum input
current is 50mA) to trigger an input. Consult the pin out diagrams to test at the
card edge connector or at the end of the cable.
5. Use the VCTest to verify the basic I/O functionality of your digital I/O board.
The source code is included to simplify application development in the
programming language C.
