I bought 2 of these units in Oct 2004. Both
assembled,
tested, and worked without a hitch. After being
dormant for the past year, I find one has a non
functional heater control loop. Drive circuit is
working, but Hdrive signal is a very low duty cycle.
swap the cable with the working unit to determine if its
the cable (most common fault). Also, low battery
voltage will have same effect. Look at the LEDs for clues as
to the problem.
It never changes pulse width and heater current is
near 0. Heater has continuity. Another issue: I have
tried to update the firmware to enable datalogging,
but I get no further than unzipping the files. The
wbflash.exe doesn't open. Must be my lack of
understanding here. I'm using win xp. Do you have a
tech support forum?
The larger install file for WBflash must be downloaded and
used rather than the smaller .exe file (VB6 support files
not present). Use this, unzip, then run the setup.exe file

Win XP is a good host OS for the software - no problems
that have not been fixed.
