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).
