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.

Testing the RLM with "Tester" Utility

1.

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.
