Error: Value is not supported by the attached tester hardware

The error message ‘ Value is not supported by the attached tester hardware’ may appear when you try to run a test that was created on a different tester with different capabilities. The error message is indicating that the for this wire list is not supported on the tester you are trying to run on. For instance if you try to run a wire list which specifies a 2000 VDC test on a tester that only supports 1500 VDC you will get this error. This can happen when you import a test created on one piece of hardware and then try to run it on a different piece of hardware with lower capabilities.

In rare cases this error message may appear due to a hardware problem on the tester. For instance, if the internal connection to the High Voltage circuitry were disconnected and you tried to run a wire list with a high voltage test, this error message would result because it appears to the tester that high voltage is not supported. If you get this error message on a test that has been working previously on this tester, a hardware change / error may be the problem.

To solve this problem either run the test only on the tester with the correct capabilities, or edit the to a value that is supported on the tester you are trying to use.If you suspect a hardware problem contact Cirris Technical Support for further assistance.
