Power Up Test
Before you make any other connections to your Interface 1010, check that the Interface 1010 is at least
nominally functional.
After connecting DC power to the Interface 1010, turn on the Power switch on the front panel of the Interface
1010 (see Figure 3-1).
Watch the Power LED as the Interface 1010 powers up. It flashes slowly four or five times (depending on the
amount of software loading), then glows a steady blue. This process could take as long as 15 seconds. The
Interface 1010 fan runs at low speed once the Power light stops flashing. If you do not see four or five blinks
and then a steady blue color, see Appendix D for a table of blink codes.
The status of the other LED indicators is not important at this time.
Caution:
not working properly! If this power-up test fails, contact Gamry Instruments or your local Gamry
Instruments representative as soon as possible.
If the Power LED continues to flash after 30 seconds, the instrument could be malfunctioning or the
instrument could be over-heated. Make sure the Framework Instrument Manager is not causing the flashing
(see below). Check that the air-flow through the chassis is not restricted. If airflow looks okay and the
Power LED continues to flash, contact Gamry Instruments (techsupport@gamry.com) or your local Gamry
Instruments representative as soon as possible.
USB Cables
The Interface 1010 connects to the computer using a filtered High Speed USB A/B cable. A suitable cable was
shipped with your Interface 1010. The replacement cable is Gamry Part Number 985-00131.
An A/B USB cable has different connectors on each end. The end with a wider, rectangular-shaped connector
plugs into a USB port on your computer (or a similar port on a USB hub). The end with a nearly square
connector plugs into the USB port on the Interface 1010 (see below).
