Error 5000 during data collection
Posted: Wed Feb 22, 2017 3:48 pm
Hello,
A few days ago, this error occurred as I was collecting data. There had been no problems to start with, but after ~30 mins of data collection the impedance suddenly went up to max. on one electrode, then ActiView stopped saving and I got Error 5000 (no incoming data). When I checked, the AD-box was still switched on but the blue light was completely off (not flashing). I restarted the AD-box, and everything looked fine, so I continued with data collection (starting a new file) until the same error happened again.
I thought there may have been a problem with the electrode set I was using, so I did a bucket test - the electrodes were working fine, but when I took the DRL electrode out of the salt water this triggered error 5000 again.
We have since continued using the AD-box with a different set of electrodes and have not encountered this error again, although we have found 2 faulty electrodes (possibly kinked wires) in the set I was using at the time.
What could have caused this error 5000 to occur and should we be concerned?
Thanks for any advice,
Briony
