TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

We have carefully tested and found no problems in 
the supplied MT115-111 unit. However, we would 
like to offer the following suggestions:
8.1  LEDs ARE OFF
Cause 1:
There is no power to the card.
Solution 1: Make sure the card is plugged all 
the way into the enclosure. If an 
LED is still not on, see Cause 2.
Cause 2:
The card is not initialized.
Solution 1: Turn the system power off and then 
back on again. If one of the LEDs is 
still not on, please call ALTINEX at

8.2  DISPLAY IS TOO BRIGHT
Cause 1:
The software gain is too high.
Solution:
Set the gain control to 4 using the 
RS-232 commands in Section 7.2.  If 
the display is still too bright, see 
Cause 2.
Cause 2:
The gain switch is not set 
correctly.
