Testing the RLM Using Tester/WinTester
Shipped with each RLM, PIE provides two software diagnostic tools on
diskette, "Tester" and "WinTester." Tester is a DOS-based utility, while
WinTester is a Windows-based program designed to run on Win3.11,
Win95 and Win98.
Either Tester or WinTester:
Allows the user to retrieve data from the RLM.
Has a reset feature which clears all totals in the RLM and a test
load to determine the RLM's storage ability.
Has the ability to run the comm port on the PC to coordinate the
jumper settings of the RLM and the PC.

Check to ensure that your computer has the ANSI.SYS driver
loaded on the root directory on C drive. Your CONFIG.SYS file
should have a statement such as device=c:\[path]\ansi.sys . If
not, locate the ANSI.SYS file on your computer and edit your
CONFIG.SYS file to include the device=c:\[path]\ansi.sys
statement. If this driver is not loaded properly, the screen will
not be readable when Tester is loaded.
