----------------------------------------------------
NOTE: YOU DO NEED TO RECOMPILE OLD PROGRAMS THAT WERE WRITTEN IN DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF
WINTOS. IF UPGRADING FROM DOS/TOS TO WINTOS, THERE IS SOME RISK THAT THE TEST PROGRAMS MAY
NEED SOME DEBUGGING DUE TO TIMING ISSUE.
IF PROBLEM OCCURES WHEN RUNING TEST PROGRAMS. PLEASE DO THESE STEPS:
- RECOMPILE THE PROGRAM.
- AT WINTOS WINDOW, CLICK ON SETUP, THEN SYSTEM_CONFIG, THEN TSTRONIC.INI
- AT TSTRONIC.INI FILE, CHECK THESE POINTS:
- Term_type = 2 (FOR THE 405 TYPE SYSTEMS). Term_type = 3 (FOR THE 401 AND THE 406 TYPE
SYSTEMS).
- 1stpin = 1 (CHANGE TO 1 IF IT’S NOT, IF YOU’RE USING TESTRONICS’S
FIXTURE).
- NumPoints = (ENTER IN WHATEVER NUMBER OF POINTS YOUR SYSTEM HAVE).
- DO ALT X WHEN YOU ARE DONE TO GET OUT OF TSTRONIC.INI. IF PROGRAM HAS CHANGED THEN THERE
WILL BE A QUESTION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. TYPE IN W TO SAVE CHANGES. Y TO GET OUT
WITHOUT SAVE. N IS NOT TO EXIT.
- CLICK ON OK AT WINTOS PAGE.
4) CHECK TO SEE IF TAB SETTING IS SET BY:
- CLICK ON WINTOS ICON FROM THE MAIN WINDOW.
- CLICK ON DATA (AT UPPER TOP MENU).
- SELECT DISPLAY SETTINGS (THIS IS TO SET DISPLAY AT THE SCREEN).
- ADJUST TAB STOP BY TYPING IN THE TAB NUMBERS YOU WANT (NUMBERS OF SPACE YOU WANT BETWEEN
EACH COLUMN). THERE SHOULD ALWAYS BE ATLEAST 1 NUMBER IN THAT BOX.
- CLICK OK WHEN YOU’RE DONE WITH ENTERING THE NUMBERS.
IF EVERYTHING IS CORRECT, YOU SHOULD BE READY TO LOAD AND RUN YOUR TEST PROGRAMS WITH
THIS NEW SOFTWARE.
