Troubleshooting

PDM32 not powering on

Verify that the main power and ground connections are securely attached and that the battery voltage is within the operational range.

Specific output not functioning

Check the output configuration in RaceStudio3 software. Ensure the output is enabled, correctly rated, and that no fault conditions (short circuit, open circuit) are active. Inspect the connected device and wiring for damage.

Data logging not starting

Confirm that the logging channels are selected in RaceStudio3 and that the device has sufficient storage space (if applicable) or memory. Ensure the module is properly configured for data acquisition.

RaceStudio3 software not recognizing the PDM32

Ensure you are using the latest version of RaceStudio3. Check the USB connection and drivers. Try a different USB port or cable. Consult the AiM documentation for specific driver installation instructions.
