7 Troubleshooting intheField
Note – If a configured device does not respond while the system is running, the
following message appears:
Some of the required system devices are not responding. Press \ to check the
details in the Diagnostics item of the Setup Menu, or press = to continue.
The screen displays a list of devices that are currently connected to the system. The
Diagnostics dialog lists each device and reports the following information:
l The device name.
l The status of the device.
l The application firmware version number.
l The loader firmware version.
The application firmware must be the correct version before the device can be used
in the system.
The application firmware version number indicates which devices are detected and
which devices have the correct version of the firmware loaded.
Note – When none of the devices display “old version”, you can use the system.
Note – With some older radios, the diagnostics are unable to report a version
number, but the system is usable. Also, the status of third party radios is not
reported, and the radio is not shown in the Diagnostics dialog.
If either the firmware or the loader is too old, the device is detected, but you cannot
use the system until the device firmware is updated. The Status column displays the
minimum firmware required.
If the message Not Found appears beside a device, the system is configured to use
the device, but the device was not detected.
You cannot use the system if a device is not found.
Tip – If the configuration file sent to the GNSS receiver failed, try loading a design surface to
send another configuration file.
