An SCM 301 CAMAC controller module is connected to the computer but when the SCM301_Test toolsheet is compiled, an error is reported similiar to the following:
loader msg> Attempting to load 'DEV1' …
loader msg> DEV1: Loading the driver 'SCM301'…
.
.
.
loader msg> The requested driver could not be loaded.
What do I need to do to get the test toolsheet to compile?
In order to compile properly, the toolsheet must load and initialize the driver for the controller. Consider the following issues:
System:
If you are using a Windows computer, insure that you are using a wnaspi-compatible host adapter and that the WINASPI layer is properly installed. The WINASPI drivers can be downloaded from ADAPTEC's web site and installation can be verified using the tools available in the download.
At power-up, Windows may display a dialog asking you to install a driver for the controller. Do not attempt to load a driver through the plug-and-play dialog. Just cancel the dialog. Kmax will load the appropriate driver(s) when the toolsheet is compiled.
Hardware:
Insure that the controller is properly configured. Also verify that the SCSI ID on the controller is set to 5, the test default ID. If the controller is being used in R/G mode, insure that the R/G lemo cable has been properly installed.
Kmax:
Insure that Kmax is installed with the "Extensions" folder in the same directory with the Kmax8.jar/Kmax8.app files. Make sure that the "Extensions" folder has not been modified.
Kmax toolsheet:
Insure that the the device ID is set to 5 (the test default) in the device pane of the toolsheet. On the Mac, just set the Bus ID and the Device ID to -1, if you want the driver to find ny controller available.
