1.6.6 Troubleshooting Guide for the ES8000 (Version 1.0) Software
Question:
Answer:
When I switch the focus to another device form I lose some or all of the previous
form setup.
The majority of device form settings are only stored when the form’s Update button
is clicked.
Question:
Answer:
I keep receiving numerous pop-up window error messages during my evaluation
session, causing the application to do strange things ?
Perform a General Reset on the near and/or far C-BUS. If this does not solve the
problem, shutdown the ES8000 and turn off the power supply feeding the signalling
processor and µC boards. Now follow the ‘ES8000 and EV8000 Startup Procedure'
instructions described earlier.
Question:
Answer:
After operating in several different modes the device form(s) locked up or showed
abnormal behaviour ?
Perform a General Reset on the near and/or far C-BUS. If this does not solve the
problem, shutdown the ES8000 and turn off the power supply feeding the signalling
processor and µC boards. Now follow the ‘ES8000 and EV8000 Startup Procedure’
instructions described earlier.
Question:
Answer:
Can the FX829 device form receive continuous FFSK messages ?
Continuous FFSK messages should only be received when the inter-message
delay is ≥ 100ms.
Question:
Answer:
At Startup I get an ‘Incompatible Software/Firmware versions!’ error message ?
Shutdown the ES8000 and turn off the power supply feeding the signalling
processor and µC boards. Now follow the ‘ES8000 and EV8000 Startup Procedure’
instructions described earlier. If this does not solve the problem check that you are
using the correct ES8000 and EF8000 versions. Information on software version
numbers, together with the latest software and documentation, can be found by
visiting the CML web site.
Question:
Answer:
The FFSK messaging on the FX829 device form is functioning incorrectly ?
Perform a General Reset on the near and/or far C-BUS and press the reset switch
(SW1) on the µC board. If this does not solve the problem follow the ‘ES8000 and
EV8000 Startup Procedure’ instructions described earlier.
Question:
Answer:
When I try to read or write to the µC board I get a ‘Cannot Write Port’ error
message.
This may occur due to an unconnected serial cable or EV8000 PSU problem. The
ES8000 Windows Application Software will not function correctly after a ‘Cannot
Write Port’ error message has occurred. Shutdown the ES8000 and turn off the
power supply feeding the signalling processor and µC boards. Now follow the
‘ES8000 and EV8000 Startup Procedure’ instructions described earlier.
