My Quanser VoltPAQ-X2/X4 amplifier is powered, but when enabled, the LED does NOT turn green (i.e. stays “off”) after running the QUARC model. How can I enable the amplifier?

We have a Quanser Universal Power Module (UPM) in our lab. How can I set it for Gain 1 so I can use it with our Rotary Servo Base Unit SRV02?

Do I need an emergency stop (E-Stop) switch to enable my VoltPAQ-X1 amplifier?
