My Ullage software shows “Analog input board #0 not installed”
Run Instacal (this can be found in Programs-Measurement Computing folder) ensure that the software can see the board. If installed correctly the board should be displayed in the program. If displayed click left mouse button on it, select Test from the top of the screen and run a digital test on the board, you should see two green lights if everything is ok. Close down Instacal and open the Ullage Software. If this does not work try rebooting the machine. If you are still experiencing difficulties call 262-536-4081.
My Tank Explorer says “DAQ error”
Open Tank Explorer, select Hardware from the top menu followed by Channel 0, in the top left of the screen is a dropdown box labeled “Physical Channel” ensure this says cDAQ 1Mod 1/ai0 and click Save. Repeat for each Channel. If this does not work ensure that there is a green light on the Signal Conditioner box (where the load cells plug into). If there is a green light but you can’t select the channels in the hardware section reboot your machine. If none of the above works, please call the office and arrange for an online support session to resolve.
