Appendix B – Troubleshooting
Sealevel Software is supplied with the Sealevel Systems adapter and will be used in the troubleshooting
procedures. By using this software and following these simple steps, most common problems can be
eliminated without the need to call Technical Support.
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.
