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.)
