ANL-926 Error Message
January 05, 2007, 11:38:11 am

I’m using 4 ANL-926 Audio Stimulus Generator cards, all running the same programs.  The card for Box 1 gives me the following error message (recorded in the log) every time I use it:

ANL-926 Timeout Error – Box 1

Other boxes do not generate the error.

The error is repeated 12 times during the session (the card is used 12 times, to generate either 6 tones and 6 clicks).

I believe that the session continues correctly despite this, but I need to know what the error means and how to fix it.  I believe that the manual is silent about the error messages, and I cannot find info on the Med Associates web site.

Thanks!

It would be easier to give you an answer if I could see the program and the exact error messages. However, given the information that you have provided I can think of two reasons that this can happen:

1) The ANL-926 for Box 1 has become defective or its dip switches are not setup correctly. You can verifiy its functionality with MED Test.

2) You have an older version of the ANL-926.dll (latest version dated 9-9-2003) and/or EPROMS (latest rev 28) and are using the ToneOn/ToneOff commands. If this is the case, then you can safely ignore this error message. The command is actually working, but the returned checksum value just doesn’t match. However, you should seriously consider upgrading to the latest versions.

I hope that this information helps.

Med Test shows that the card is working fine. My ANL-926.dll is dated 7/15/2003. I just purchased an additional ANL-926 card, which came with software. Can I safely install it without messing up my ability to run existing programs?

Thanks!

Your ANL-926.dll is out of date. It should be dated 9/9/2003. The new software should install the correct dll. The only other question is what EPROM is on the card that is not working.
