FUNCTIONAL TEST
The following test sequence will verify that your pole display is
working properly. Before you start this procedure, you must install the
pole display correctly as outlined under the INSTALLATION section.
The functional test should be done under MSDOS command prompt
by booting up the computer in DOS mode, or shell out to DOS prompt
(in window95/98/ME) or COMMAND prompt (in windows NT/2000).
NOTE: The actual key entries in the text below are enclosed within quotation
marks ( “ ” ). Do not type the quotation marks as part of your entries.
Serial Interface Pole Displays Functional Test
This test procedure assumes the pole display is connected to COM1
of the computer. If COM2 is being used, type COM2 where COM1 is
called out.
Close all opened application programs that use the same COM port
before going into DOS command prompt. Enter the following
command lines to open the COM port for communication with the pole
display:
Type “MODE COM1 96,N,8,1” and press the ENTER key.
Type “TYPE CON>COM1” and press the ENTER key.
