If you sure your wiring from both the Digital Sidecar and Power Distribution board are correct the problem might be in your code or you might have a damaged hardware component.  Can you post a screenshot of your code (LabVIEW) or copy, paste, and post your code (C/C++)?  Have you tried using the provided example code in LabVIEW or Wind River workbench?

While unlikely its possible this issue is caused by a faulty Digital Sidecar.  A simple test would be to swap out your current Digital Sidecar with a spare and see if they behavior persists. 

Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. 

Cheers,

Mark

It can also be difficult to get the PWM cable fully engaged in the Victor 884.
