Symptom 2. Resource tests in the Daq* Configuration utility failed.
Symptom Overview
The resource tests consist of a Base Address Test and an Interrupt Level Test. These tests are
performed through the Daq* Configuration utility. If either test “Fails,” complete the steps that
are provided in the following Solution.

Solution
If either of the Resource Tests failed, complete the following steps:
1. Make sure that the primary data acquisition device, e.g., DaqBook or WaveBook, has
adequate power, and that the power is turned on.
2. Check for obvious defects in the WBK20A cable.
3. Verify that good connections exist between the WBK20A, the cable, and the primary data
acquisition device.
4. Make sure that you have installed the proper software support, i.e., DaqBook Support or
WaveBook Support from the data acquisition CD.
5. When running the Daq* Configuration utility, make sure that you have selected the parallel
port that is assigned to the WBK20A. In general, this parallel port is not LPT1, since LPT1 is
typically the computer’s native parallel port.
The selected LPT port must agree with the WBK20A label in the Windows
Device Manager. Chapter 4 discusses LPT port assignment.
If the only selection is LPT1, and LPT1 is not the port assigned to the
WBK20A, then the installation has failed and you need to revisit the previous
troubleshooting section entitled,
Symptom 1 .
