AD-Scan shows incorrect values

It is possible that the common mode range is has been exceeded.

The AD-Scan is a measurement device with differential inputs.

When connecting signals, ensure that the common-mode range is within the meter range. This requirement applies to both the negative, as well as the positive connection of the measured signal.

The common mode range is from about -3.5 V to +16 V.

In practice, this means that the signal needs a fixed reference to ground of the measurement device. This means a fixed relation to the negative connection of the measurement and ground with a tolerance of approx. 1 Volt.

For in-vehicle measurements, this requirement is met by reference to the Battery. For measurements in the laboratory, this reference usually must be made manually, because most signal sources (such as calibrator) are floating.

CONFIG and serial (SMB) configuration

SMB / CAN - devices can use CONFIG via the serial interface (SMB) to be configured. The prerequisite is that the CAN-operation has been activated.

The CAN-operation will be activated as follows:

• SMB / CAN: The CAN connector has to be connected.

• LEMO prior to hardware Rev #F: use switch on the back of the device.

• LEMO hardware from Rev F #: The device must be supplied via CAN (not K39).

CONFIG needs firmware V3.2 or above for serial configuration.

xxScan and configuration via CAN

xxScan CAN devices with firmware V4.1 or above (2003-10-01) can use CONFIG on CAN for configuration.

Back

Firmware update via serial interface

xxScan SMB / CAN with firmware version V4.1 or above supports a firmware update via the serial interface. Devices with earlier firmware versions must be returned to CSM to receive a firmware update.

INCA 5.4.0 and CAN monitoring: DBC file can not be read

INCA 5.4.0 has an issue with the interpretation of DBC files for the CAN-monitoring operation. This problem is resolved with Hotfix 4. Hotfixes for INCA are available from ETAS.

Ranges less than +/- 100 mV for the ADMM Pro are not available in CONFIG

CONFIG shows current values at ADMM Pro

Older versions of the CONFIG software cannot handle the new ranges of the ADMM Pro. Therefore these ranges are not shown. If using an older version of CONFIG, ADMM Pro with additional (10/20/50 mV) ranges, CONFIG falsely shows a current range.

CD V5.91 (CONFIG 3.7.1.58) or higher is required.

Use the latest version of CONFIG.

CONFIG Software terminates once the configuration CNT-Scan is read out

Firmware V1.55 (or higher) of the CNT-Scan supports virtual channels. If virtual channels are enabled, the number of measurement channels is doubled. Older versions of CONFIG software cannot handle virtual channels, and the software will terminate with an error.

CD V5.90 (CONFIG 3.7.0.52) or higher is required.

Use the latest version of CONFIG.
