Troubleshooting
Problem:
Can not establish communications with the indexer.
Possible Solutions:
1) Make sure the indexer has power. Is the Green LED on.
2) Check RS232 connections.
3) Check for loose cable connection either on the pulse generator or CO\
M Port.
4) Was the software installed successfully?
5) Go to Setup | Communication Settings and verify COM port settings.
