Invalid checksum error when acquiring data in Analyst software requires the Checksum Option to be turned on

For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Answer

If you see the error below when trying to acquire data, you will need to turn the checksum option on.

Click View and select Audit Trail Manager.

Right-click within the Audit Trail Manager pane, select Options and select Data File Checksum to enable it. A check mark next to Data File Checksum shows that the option is enabled.

If there is no check mark shown, then the checksum option is turned off.

Note: if you encounter this error frequently, check the status of your HDD in the Acquisition PC.
