Section 15A
Troubleshooting The Control
15A-2
This section describes the operation of a software utility supplied with your
9/Series ODS disks. This utility allows you to initialize the control to
Default AMP parameters and /or remove the PAL logic program.
Use of this utility may become necessary if during power turn on (PTO)
the CRT is blank and system watch-dog LED is not on, or if the PTO
screen is displayed with no error messages and pressing “transmit” does
not change the display. For example you may need to use this utility when
a PAL program downloaded to the control requires a foreground scan time
that is incompatible with the AMP defined “system scan time” parameter.
This initialization utility is not activated in the same way that other ODS
functions are called (pull-down menus). It must be converted from the
compacted form as it is stored on the original ODS floppies to the hard
disk of the workstation (PC).
1. Create a directory to be used for this utility, and “CHANGE
DIRECTORY” to this directory. For example:
MKDIR TEMP
makes the directory called temp.
CD TEMP
changes to the temp directory.
2. Depending on the floppy disk size you are using, copy one of the files
listed below from the original ODS disk to the new directory (TEMP
in our example):
- INIT33.ZIP from the 3 1/2 inch disk #3
- For example:
COPY B:INIT33.ZIP C:\TEMP
copies the init33.zip file from the B: drive to
the temp directory on the C: drive
3. While in the newly created directory (temp in our example),
uncompress the Initialize utility using PKUNZIP. PKUNZIP is found
on disk #1 of your ODS disks. Place disk #1 in the disk drive and
enter the appropriate command based on which “INIT...” file was
copied. For example:
B:PKUNZIP INIT33.ZIP
uncompresses the initialize utility
The initialize utility is now ready to use.
