ADC16 not found by PLW Recorder

Post by cgreisen »

When I try to start the software (PicoLog for Windows, Release 5.10.7), I just get the message:

ADC16 driver version 2.4
ADC16 Unit not found

I have checked that it is plugged into the serial port, restarted the PLW software a few times (as it is recommended in the manual) and tried to select both COM1 and COM2. Nothing worked.

Any suggestions ?

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

First, we need to elimate whether it is a faulty unit. Please install and run on another PC if you have one available.

Please let me know the outcome of the test.

ADC16 on serial port. Just a conflict with other devices

Thanx.

I tried installing on a different (fresh) machine. That worked. I'll probably just have to uninstall applications using the same port.

Best regards,

Christoffer

Hi

The problem may have been a lack of current supply from the RS232 port on the first machine, which is the case on some computers.

Let me know the outcome.

Just had to switch off Syncronization over COM1

It was my calender syncronization software that occupied the port (for connecting a PalmV cradled. Shutting that service down enabled PLW.
