Troubleshooting

This section provides some information on issues you may experience when using the config-
uration tool.
9.1.

Refreshing SLD4 Configurator Setup

Firstly, remove all but the generic configurations within the SLD4 Configuration Tool. This can
be completed by creating a new configuration; connecting to a detector and then deleting the
various configurations, as shown in Figure 24 : SLD4 Configuration Tool – Creating a New Con-
figuration.

Following this step, reset the configuration of the detector to its default settings by selecting
the 'Revert to Default' button in the bottom right hand corner of the SLD4 configuration tool.
This will ensure the SLD4 Configurator uses the latest available configuration settings for the
detector you are configuring.
Once the current configurations are removed, connecting to an SLD4 will allow the upload of
the current schema from the detector. This is then available in the configuration tool.

Serial Cable connection (702/4/08535/000)

Connection to the SLD4 is via the front panel 3.5mm socket and a USB to 3.5mm serial cable.
The communications port and settings are set through the "Configure" button on the left hand
side of the SLD4 Configurator display. The COM port for the cable will not be displayed until it
is plugged into the laptop. The logic levels are compatible with 3.3V logic levels.
