“Instrument not responding” error message:

Try triggering the M.O.L.E. thermal profiler with the button. If you cannot get the light to flash, you have a hardware problem with the M.O.L.E. thermal profiler itself.

If you can activate the M.O.L.E. profiler with the switch, check for the following:

Wrong computer Communication Port: Cable must be connected to which is selected using the Select Instruments command in the  software.

Conflicting use of COM Port: Perhaps some other software, such as a mouse driver, communications programs, or PDA is trying to use the same COM Port.

Computer Interface cable defective: Order spare or replacement cables from ECD, refer to the Service and Troubleshooting>How to Get Additional Help topic for your M.O.L.E. thermal profiler for contact information.

The software appears to be locked up when trying to communicate with the M.O.L.E. thermal profiler:
