Below are some basic troubleshooting steps

  1. Check the cabling to the device.

  2. Perform any vendor specific hardware tests on the device to determine if the device's hardware is functioning properly

  3. Call your circuit vendor to have them look at your circuit.

  4. Raise the threshold on the monitor. This will allow for better "tuning" of the application to your environment. Take care no to raise the threshold too much as this could allow important events to go unnoticed.
