Any one who is using LC-8A Shimadzu HPLC, could help me in sorting out the following problem.

Failed to intilization PDA detector.

I have checked all hardware, software problems, but no solution.

What is the detector model and the software system? LC-8A is a pump.

Don't turn on your detector manually, let the software interface do it for you. I've found that this helps to eliminate "error messages". I know it may sound counter-intuitive but this helps to solve problems.
