Maintenance and Troubleshooting
153
• Appropriate data logging software is running (if the receiving device is a PC).
• Interface cable is securely fastened at both ends.
• Cable is compatible with equipment and not damaged.
The serial communication parameters MUST match those of the external device.
No Data or Garbled Data Received by External Datalogger/Host
If the gage is configured for serial RS-232 mode, verify that the Comport parameters
under the Communication menu of the gage and external Datalogger agree. Often, an
incorrect Baud Rate is the problem.
The Foot Switch does not Work
If the Foot Switch is not functioning correctly confirm that the configuration is set
properly on the Magna-Mike 8600 under the Communication menu. Also, make sure
the Foot Switch is fully plugged into the jack on the top panel of the gage.
“Do Calibration”
This message indicates that the active lookup table is either missing, or is not valid for
the type of probe connected to the gage. If you know that the inactive table does
match the probe, perform a ball calibration to bring the inactive table forward. This
message will always appear when returning to Measure mode immediately after a
Measurement or Master Reset.
9.4 Diagnostics
The probe is reliable and durable when the following care is taken:
• Do not drop the probe on hard surfaces
• Do not hit the probe with any objects
The user may perform a Keypad, Video Display, or Hardware Diagnostic test from the
keypad to aid in localizing a suspected gage problem or simply to check functionality.
