By Ann Nguyen

To Load Test Programs (At Wintos Window):

Instructions:

From the floppy to the hard drive directory:

Install floppy into your disk drive (probably drive A:)
Select WINTOS at Window menu (click on it twice).
If OPEN WINDOW pops up, click on CANCEL to get out.
Click on EDIT near upper left corner, then select RESTORE.
Double click on the directory you want to copy your program to (usually in T directory), then click on OK.
Select T again (or the directory you want to put your file in) & click on OK (this will let you look into the files in your floppy).
Select the .T program you want to restore, then click on RESTORE. The program with all the associated files are now loaded on the hard drive.

From the hard drive’s directory:
Select FILE at upper left corner. Click on OPEN then select the directory of your file. Click on the file you wanted to load. If the program is loaded correctly, the name of your file should be printed at the upper left corner of the screen.

To Run The Test

While in Wintos Window, Click TEST from Icon Tool Bar or F4. You can also select Start Test from FUNCTION at the pull down menu. Press CTRL key to abort testing.

To Put The Test In A Loop

While in Wintos Window, Select FUNCTION from the pull down menu, then click on Loop. Press CTRL key to abort testing.

To Print

At Wintos Window, select letter P at the keyboard. PRN should appeared at the bottom right corner. Now if you run the test and you have any failures, the failures will be printed at the printer. Select P again will turn off this feature and the PRN at the bottom right should disappeared.

To Turn On Log File

At Wintos Window, select letter L at the keyboard. The Open Window will pop up. You need to select the directory you want to put your log file in (click on the selected directory twice). Now type in the name of your log file, then click on OPEN. Now LOG should appeared at the bottom right corner. If you run the test and you have any failures, the failures will be sent to your log file. Select L again will turn off this feature and the LOG at the bottom right should disappeared.

To edit the log file, make sure that log file is turned off. Now LOG should not be at the bottom right corner. Select Data from Wintos Window, then click on Log management. Select the correct name of your log file, by click on the file twice, or type in the name at File Name. Click on EDIT. Now you are in your log file, with brief editor. Alt X to get exit, then Y to exit without saves, W is to exit & save. N is not to exit the log file.

To Turn On The Test Results Display

At Wintos Window, select letter D at the keyboard. DSP should appeared at the bottom right corner. Now if you run the test and you have any failures, the failures will be printed on the screen. Select D again will turn off this feature and the DSP at the bottom right should disappeared.

To Adjust Print Out

Your print out to the screen and to the printer should be already set up, but for some reason you would like to change the setting, you can do the following:

Load your program per above instruction.
Click on DATA then select DISPLAY SETTINGS (this is to set display at the screen). Now display screen should be open. Make sure ACTIVATED and PASS FAIL MODE have a mark at their boxes, if not just click on those boxes. Now you can adjust TAB STOP by typing in the tab numbers you want. NOTE: Tab stop always should have a number in its box.
Now click on OK to save the changes you just made.
To change printer setting (after program is loaded), you also need to select DATA then click on PRINTER SETTINGS. Printer set up page should now be open, if and only if the mark for PASS AND FAIL MODE is not there, then select it. Now you can enter in any number for the TAB STOP to change your setting for the printer print out.
Click on OK after you are done to save your setting.

NOTE: If PASS RESULTS is turned on by having a check mark next to it (in either DISPLAY or PRINTER SETTINGS) then all measurements (Passing & failing data) will be displayed on the printer or display when you run the test. Usually this feature should not be on.

Debug

Issues:

Nail #’s:

Click on the Scan Pin from the pull down menu (it is the icon with a white circle, next to the yellow triangle icon). Scan Pin can also be selected from FUNCTIONS at the pull down menu. This function activates the external probe for nail identification, by touching the scan pin’s probe to the nail you want to identify. The nail number will be printed on the screen. If speakers are connected to the computer a voice will announce the test point number.

Measurements:

Click on FUNCTIONS at the pull down menu then select Single Step. Select View at tool bar, then click on On Line Edit to see the measurement of the part. You can select Stop (to get out of the test), previous item, go to next item, go to the next failure (this will stop to view at the next failure), or go to the end.

Note: When you click on (go to the next failure) and it changes from a resistor to a capacitor, you should close On Line Edit, then re-open it. This will help to get the pin numbers of the capacitor. Also short and open tests are not editable from this screen as well as diode or IC tests.
