• Switch off your PowerLab and any other connected devices,
change the SCSI ID for the PowerLab using the control on the
back panel, wait about five seconds, and then switch it back on.
Check any other connected SCSI devices as well at the same time.
An internal problem has been discovered by the diagnostic self-test
(this is performed by the PowerLab each time it powers up).
• Turn everything off, and then after at least five seconds turn the
PowerLab back on again. This should clear a temporary problem.
If not, then the PowerLab may need repair. Take note of the
flashing pattern, and consult your ADInstruments distributor.
When Windows starts up, it doesn't recognise the PowerLab
This should happen only the first time PowerLab hardware is
connected to the computer. Windows may bring up the New
Hardware wizard, and ask if you want to install a driver.
• Leave the wizard on its default settings and click the OK button.
Insert the CD, or Disk 1 of the provided installation disks. The
PowerLab setup information file should be selected in the dialog
box that appears. Click the OK button, and continue.
There is an alert about ASPI when the software starts up
ADInstruments software needs ASPI (advanced SCSI programming
interface) to communicate with the PowerLab. An alert appears if it
can't be found. ASPI is present by default in Windows 95 or later
(although it could have been removed), but not in Windows NT 4. A
version suitable for most SCSI cards supplied by ADInstruments is
provided on the software CD. Other SCSI cards should come with
instructions on what to do.
• Install the appropriate version of ASPI on the computer, or ask
your PC technical support person or IS manager to do it.
The computer refuses to boot with the PowerLab connected
The SCSI adapter card is incompatible with the computer or the
PowerLab or both. We cannot guarantee that the PowerLab will work
