OptoKB Article : KB47789
Last Review : April 25, 2006
Revision : 3.0
SNAP-AIVRMS and SNAP-AIARMS module readings may
become fixed at -32768. The low scale for these modules is
zero, and they should not report negative values that are less
than 0.5% of full scale (-1.25 V for the SNAP-AIVRMS module,
and –50 mA for the SNAP-AIARMS module), unless there is
an error condition.
RESOLUTION
Module firmware has been updated to correct this problem. If you are experiencing the above symptoms,
contact Opto 22 Product Support to discuss a solution.
MORE INFORMATION
If you are using a serial B3000 brain, also see OptoKB KB48056. If you have either of these modules and
they are not in service (spares), and want to validate their operation, contact Opto 22 Product Support.
