SYMPTOM CHECK SOLUTION
GUI says hardware not
found.
Is the LED labeled D20 red?
Ifyes,thentheelectronicfuse(U7)isinafaultstate.Inspectfor
electrical shorts on the PCB and make sure that the PCB is not sit-
ting on a conductive surface.
Does the LED labeled D21
turn green when the GUI is
running?
If not, then exit the GUI and try running it again. If D20 still does
not turn green, then exit the GUI and try connecting the USB
cabletoadifferentUSBportonthePCandwaitforaWindows
messagethatstatesthehardwareisreadytouse.RuntheGUI
again.
Are any of the LEDs illumi-
nated?
If not, then the PCB may not be getting power from the USB. Try a
different USB cable or a different USB port.
No slave address found
and read/writes fail
Jumper J1 Make sure jumper J1 is installed to power the MAX34460.
Jumper J23 Make sure 4 jumpers on J23 are installed.
Channels do not turn on
IsthereaCONTROL#faulton
the Status Tab of the GUI?
Default configuration Control is active high. Make sure S1 and S2
are in the high position
IstheALERTLEDonandall
channel LEDs off?
If so, make sure switch PSEN (S6) is in the on position to connect
the PSENs of MAX34460 to the channels.
IstheALERTLEDonand
Channel 0 LED on?
Ifso,makesureswitchRS(S5)isintheonpositiontoconnectthe
power-supply outputs to the MAX34460.
Margining is not working,
voltage is not changing
S4
Make sure the DAC (S4) switch is in the on position to connect the
DACs from DS4424 to FB of channels 0–3
