8.5 Fault Clearing PCSTAR 2
Event Fault Action
PCSTAR 2 is unable to
connect to the gauge
The RTS Shutdown parameter
is unable to assign a value to
the PC operating system (XP
for PCSTAR 2 versions prior to
2.01) When at default value 0,
PCSTAR 2 tests the O.S. to
identify which one is installed.
An RTS Shutdown timing value
is assigned depending on the
results. However, this test may
not recognize Windows XP, so
PCSTAR will not work. Please follow the corrective
procedure below:
