HypotULTRA III / S7600 RS-232 Trouble Shooting Guide

Error 1 occured at Error with command "ADD..." - Event Register = 0: Remote Scanner Set Up as Local Scanner

Background: The HypotULTRA III is capable of interfacing with both an internal and external Scanner controlled locally by the Hipot tester, or with a remote Scanner which is controlled by the Autoware software through a direct connection to the PC. When incorporating a Scanner into your testing procedure, it is important to define whether Autoware should treat the Scanner as a local Scanner or a remote Scanner. If you have selected that your Scanner is to be controlled locally and the Scanner is actually a remote Scanner that is controlled through Autoware directly, Autoware will display an error message similar to the one above (depending on the scanner configuration).

Solution: In order to solve this problem you will need to reconfigure your Scanner settings.

1. From the Main Menu select the Setup System Parameters Menu.
2. The first thing to do is disable the internal Scanner configuration. The fourth field from the top edits the Scanner parameters.
3. Using the mouse, click on the up and down arrows to scroll through the different Scanner configurations until you have set the parameter to "None."
4. Next you must configure the remote Scanner parameter to match your current configuration.
5. Click the hot button labeled "Remote Scanners" under the More Settings heading at the bottom of the screen.
6. Using the mouse, scroll through the arrows next to the heading "Number of Remote Scanners." Depending on you configuration, you can set up a total of 12 remote Scanners. Once you have selected the correct number of remote Scanners you must then edit each Scanner's operating parameters.
7. Make sure that the "Scanner Type" matches your Scanner (SC6540 or HS-16).
8. Set you communication type to either Serial (RS-232) or GPIB.
9. Next configure the proper port/address for the current Scanner (for more information on this read the Background section under the Error - 1073807343). Finally, set the correct number of HV (high voltage) channels you have opted for with your Scanner.
10. Once all of the parameters for each Scanner have been set correctly click OK to return to the Setup System Parameters Menu.
11. Click the OK button to return to the Main Menu.
