Common HARDWARE Diagnosis MINIDYN/EMDCSS/MAXIDYN/HCA

Voltage check:

Digital Input/Outputs

The simplest place to start diagnosing the base functionality of a GDS ADWin based Dynamic System is to use the ADWin Test v1.2 software, which is a piece of GDS debugging software, in conjunction with a good quality Multimeter to measure the Control voltages and the Digital Input and Output signal voltages.

.

GDS ADWin Test v1.2 allow debuggging of all of the data acquisition channel values, encoder values, VCS control Signals, Digital Outputs and Digital Inputs.

Open GDS_ADwin_Test.exe and select the relevant Tab for your Dynamic System (MINIDYN / EMDCSS / MAXIDYN/HCA).
