Connection issues
In case you are not able to start a measurement with Bode 100, please check the following points:
1. Check if the green power LED at the front panel is on.
In case that the LED is not lit execute the following steps:
a. Check if the Wide-range AC power supply is plugged correctly into the mains socket.
b. Check if the DC connector of the power supply is properly plugged into the Bode 100.
c. Check the output voltage of the DC connector with a volt-meter.
2. Check if the communication between the Bode Analyzer Suite and the Bode 100 has been
successfully established. To do so, check if the serial number of your Bode 100 is displayed in the
start screen (see figure7-1 on page 19, or the right bottom corner of the main window
(see figure7-2 on page 20). In case you cannot see any Bode 100 serial
number, please execute the steps below:
a. Check if the USB cable is properly plugged into the computer and the Bode 100.
b. Try disconnecting and re-connecting the USB cable.
c. If this does not help, avoid USB hubs and plug Bode 100 directly into an USB port of your
computer.
d. Try to connect Bode 100 to a different USB port or a different computer. Some USB 3 ports
cause issues with Bode 100 Revision 1 devices. Especially with AMD Ryzen processors, the
older Bode 100 Revision 1 devices don't work. If you face this issue, please contact the
OMICRON Lab Support
e. Move the mouse over the icon in the status bar and then click
