menu. It has selections for a New
configuration, Load an existing
configuration, Save a configuration, Save
an existing configuration As another file,
and Exit. The Print Utility as shown
below will be discussed later in this
section. For the purposes of this
explanation, the file being used for
illustrations is the standard resource.ini
file in the \Digalog\include\ directory.
Options Menu - When the Options menu is
selected, a pull-down menu will be displayed
prompting for a choice of the following: Auto-
matic generation, Link to tester, Manual Gen-
eration, View pin Definitions, and View
Testhead configuration. Each of these options,
along with the Print utility from the File menu,
will be briefly discussed.
Link to Tester - This item will toggle the link between the application
and a tester. When checked, the application assumes a Testhead is
present and enables Automatic generation. When using Tester
Resource Manager on a development computer that is not connected
to a Digalog tester, this item should never be checked as it could lead
to corruption of certain memory locations.
Automatic Generation - If Automatic Generation is selected, the
program scans the tester for its resources, and then updates the map of
the Patchboard as shown on the next page. Tester resources required
to generate the Patchboard map plus any other tester resources can
also be saved to a resource file on the hard drive (resource.ini) stored in
the Registry, or printed out.
All programmers writing code for the system should be familiar with
this map, since it is the actual physical configuration of the
Patchboard.
