    Why is the IEEE-488 Interface on my BIRD THRULINE 4022 not responding?
    • K
      Katie PerryAug 13, 2025
      If the IEEE-488 Interface of your BIRD Measuring Instruments does not respond, verify that the address in the interface program matches the address setting on the DIP switches of the interface module. If they don't match, change either the program or the DIP switch setting to ensure they are the same. Check if the power meter fails the self-test. If it does, replace the I/O hub PCB. Also, verify the IEEE cable is not defective and replace it if necessary.

      kayla75Aug 17, 2025
      If the RS-232 Interface of your BIRD Measuring Instruments does not respond and fails the J0 self-test command, ensure the DIP switches are set correctly. If the switches are correctly set, the RS-232 cable may be defective; replace it with a new one.

    What does it mean if my BIRD THRULINE 4022 power meter displays 'TALK' with RS-232 but doesn't operate correctly?
    • T
      Tiffany HayesAug 27, 2025
      If, with the RS-232, the power meter displays “TALK” but does not operate as expected, verify that DIP switch 2 is set to ON for “talk/listen” operation or OFF for “talk always”. Also, ensure DIP switch 1 is set as indicated.
