know how to address it
Analysis: These modules have been out of production for a long time, but there are still some around, and
they are still perfectly good modules.
- Solution: Start with the old PAD module in the slot, but NOT PRESSED IN!! Make sure the connector on
the inside is not mated or making contact in any way. Now double click on the amplier slot where you want to
install this module. Select FILL when prompted. Then when the next prompt appears to press the black button
or push in the module... PUSH IN THE MODULE. The green LED on its front panel should light up, and it should
show up on the list on your SETUP screen.
⇒ Problem: some modules show up with the SERIAL NUMBERS in the amplier column, and some do not.
Analysis: There is nothing wrong here. With each Dewetron module there is a certain revision before which the serial number
was not available for external query, so these modules will not show this information on the setup screen.
- Solution: There is no solution for this. But at the same time there is not really a proble, either. If you must have modules
with serial numbers showing in the software, then the only remedy is to replace older hardware with newer hardware. That
will eliminate the problem. PAD modules can also be replaced via newer EPAD2 modules if you don’t want to use DAQ slots
for them any more. Using EPAD2 modules will free up slots in your DEWETRON chassis for more dynamic channels, via
DAQ and HSI series signal conditioners.
