  • When you see a folder directory instead of a patient name in the select patient box:
    (This means there is no .dat file for that patient. )

    This will create the .dat folder and then the next time you go to open that patient it will be listed by name.

    Is the A2D2 Software is up to date?
    If not try updating the latest version compatible with your system.

    Can you access the imager through File Explorer or "My Computer"?
    This will help determine if the issue is hardware or software based.

    Run though the troubleshooting guide located below: Imager Connection Error Sheet
    ‍
    If that the troubleshooting pdf doesn't work then inspect the wires for any damage, kinks or cuts that could be preventing communication.

    (If the issue is occuring on a model 128s check the power adapter, the black box, for any loose connections or rattling noises)
