Appendix B — Troubleshooting
Check that each device has a unique ID number and that the SCSI
chain is terminated correctly. (As a last resort, if the PowerLab is
the only connected SCSI device, try leaving it unterminated.)
The PowerLab has an internal problem or has 'hung'.
Turn everything off, and then turn the PowerLab back on again
after at least five seconds. Turn on the computer and try using the
software again.
Windows NT may not have the right SCSI driver available (it does
not have many already installed, as do Windows 95 and 98).
The driver might have to be installed manually, perhaps from the
original NT system CD. The SCSI card should have instructions
on the driver it needs and how to perform the installation.
The PowerLab is connected via USB and the computer does not
properly support USB.
USB needs a USB 1.1-compliant PC with Windows 98, Me, 2000 or
later; it simply will not work with earlier operating systems, such
as Windows 95 or Windows NT 4: use SCSI with these.
The computer hangs up while recording, or there is data loss
A poor connection between PowerLab and computer, or bad cable.
Ensure that the cable is firmly attached at both ends and try
again. If there is still a problem, try a new cable.
SCSI problems: two SCSI devices on the bus have the same SCSI ID,
or termination is incorrect or unsuitable.
Check that each device has a unique ID number and that the SCSI
chain is terminated correctly. (As a last resort, if the PowerLab is
the only connected SCSI device, try leaving it unterminated.)
The PowerLab doesn't work or the program crashes after a short time
The SCSI adapter card is incompatible with the computer or the
PowerLab or both. We cannot guarantee that the PowerLab will work
