Page 20: Troubleshooting
When the remedy for some problem cannot be discovered easily, the recording of communication between Clarity and the detector can significantly help the DataApex support to discover the cause of the problem. The recording can be enabled by adding or amending the COMMDRV.INI file in the Clarity installation directory (C:\CLARITY\CFG by default).
