A tip : when you calibrate, BEFORE, put your DATA slider half way down (or up)?
Thne, calibrate.

When you recalibrate, does it show different values ?

Hi,
Thx for the response.
There is no response from the data slider when i calibrate-(does not change values- only in the 'minimal value and maximum value area)
When recalibrating volume for example the volume slider changes the values, not so with the data slider. 
Cheers

As you can see, the slider is connected on one side to the +5V, the other end at the ground, and the slider goes from +5 to 0V.

Check if on the slider, you have 5V, or maybe, the slider is dead !

Hi,

Ok so I checked the voltage and it seemed to be working so the slider was not the problem.

I ended up in the master special mode with the magic code 1358
and went into the display/front panel menu and within the data slider section I tried it and finally a response from the slider.  From there, I recalibrated the slider, turned the unit off and on and voila we are good...for now.

Thanks for your help Doc.

an interesting thing happened....
My data slider was not working for a whle even After numerous recalibrates/magic codes etc...
I checked voltage to slider and it was over 5 volts (5.5 or something like that)
so...I lowered the power supply trim pot to 5 volts did a recalibrate and voila it works again.
