5 Troubleshooting
I live in a country with 220 V power, but the back of the Stim Comm Control
Module says 110 V.
You can change the power supply voltage rating by flipping open the panel above the plug on the
back of the module and rotating the wheel so that it says 220 V.
The Blanking Box is not visible when I open StimComm.
1. Click on the Startup Menu.
2. In the Search Box, type regedit. Click yes when asked if you want to allow this program
to make changes to your computer.
3. Locate and select the StimComm Software folder.
4. Right click in the empty window space.
5. Select New->DWORD (32-bit) value.
6. Enter the name of the registry that you would like to add (case sensitive)
• Type ‘Blanking Mode’ to turn on the Blanking box
7. Right click on the newly added registry
8. Select Modify and change the ‘0’ to ‘1’. Leave the Base set to Hexadecimal. If you want
to turn the registry off again, change the ‘1’ back to a ‘0.’
9. Select Ok.
My Stim Switch Control Module will not turn on.
Check the fuses behind the panel above the power supply plug on the back of the unit and
replace them if necessary. Ensure that the rotary voltage selector is set correctly for your line
voltage (either 110 V or 220 V). If that doesn’t work, please contact Blackrock Microsystems for
additional troubleshooting or to initiate an RMA.
I don’t seem to be able to send any commands to the Stim Switch Control
Module. Nothing is echoed in the status area of StimComm.
1. Make sure that all cables are plugged in correctly. Reread all of the descriptions in
Section 2.1 to make sure that all connections are correct.
2. Check that the Headstage Module is recognized. The PWR LED on the Headstage
should be lit and the Headstage Module LED for each bank that is in use on the Stim
