User Diagnostic Program
This chapter explains how to use the diagnostic program u_d1, which is
included on your program disk. After reading this chapter, you should be
able to use the diagnostic program to:
check your I/O configuration
monitor desired specific inputs
force specific outputs on or off as desired
perform block transfers to and from intelligent I/O modules
issue any of the scanner management requests
Prerequisites
You can run the diagnostic program without any knowledge of
programming. You do need to know how to start a program under DOS.
You must have the scanner board installed as explained in chapter 3,
“Installation.” You can run the diagnostic program whether or not a cable
is attached to the scanner.
The program normally writes all its output to the screen. If you have a
printer attached and want a printed record, press the
Ctrl-PrtSc
combination to toggle printout on and off.
If you use full-screen discrete I/O, the host computer must be configured
with the DOS standard ANSI.SYS driver, as described in your DOS
manual. (The diagnostic program assumes that this has been done and
does not check for it.)
