Common HARDWARE Diagnosis MINIDYN/EMDCSS/MAXIDYN/HCA
Voltage check:
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.
