You will now be able to run Ansur ProSim Mini Plug-In without any errors.

The remote LED on the QA-ES front panel must be on for Ansur software to communicate with the QA-ES. The Ansur software does not set the QA-ES in the remote mode like it does with other applications. The user must go to the second menu and select the remote mode.

The IMPULSE 4000 firmware requires the display screen to be at the home-screen in order for communications to be established. On the IMPULSE 4000, press the ESC button (middle right on control panel) until the display shows IMPULSE 4000 MAIN MENU PAGE 1: Then run the test template. If you have other problems it is likely a loose or misconnected RS232 serial communications cable or an incorrect COM port selection on your computer. This generally applies to all Ansur-compatible test devices. Be sure that the display menu is at the home position on the compatible test device.

Yes. The number of channels/pumps you can test depends on the number of channels on the IDA-5 or IDA-4 Plus you have available. Ansur has the ability to test up to 16 pumps at once, but in this instance you will need 16 available channels equivalent to four 4-channel IDA-5 units.

All electrical safety Plug-Ins are powering off and then applying the delay. This is to ensure a minimum time with power turned off before turning it on again, in addition to let the DUT stabilize after powering off.

This is also consistent with the way the Power On Delay is implemented. The DUT power is switched on and then the delay is applied, allowing the DUT to stabilize after powering it on.

If you want to perform any actions before powering on or off a DUT, you should use the "Stop Before New Power Configuration" and/or "Stop After New Power Configuration" options.

Yes. Templates created with previous versions of Ansur Executive are compatible with Ansur Executive 3.0.

If you are already using a previous version of Ansur Executive, there is no extra cost. This upgrade is free.

You do not need to re-install Plug-Ins when upgrading to Ansur Executive 3.0.

You may access it through Start Menu/All Programs/Fluke

If the medical device-under-test has a bar-coded serial number, model number, etc, a Microsoft Windows supported USB barcode scanner can be used. These devices should plug-and-play with Windows. Put the cursor on the data field (e.g., serial number), and scan the bar-coded serial number tag on the medical device-under- test. The data field should populate with the alphanumeric information you have just scanned. Using the barcode scanner as described above reduces sources of human error like typographical errors including transposition, reversals, etc.
