Now you’re done. You can get out of the control panel page and get back to window. There should be a new Wintos icon when you are done with the install.
Note: You do need to recompile old programs that were written in different versions of wintos. If upgrading from DOS/TOS to Wintos, there is some risk that the test programs may need some debugging due to timing issue.
If problem occurs when running
test programs, please do these steps:
Instructions: |
- Recompile the program.
- At Wintos window, click on setup, then system_config, then tstronic.ini
- At tstronic.ini file, check these points:
- Term_type = 2 (for the 405 type systems). Term_type = 3 (for the 401 and the 406 type systems).
- 1stpin = 1 (Change to 1 if it’s not, if you’re using testronics’s fixture).
- numpoints = (Enter in whatever number of points your system have).
- Do Alt X when you are done to get out of tstronic.ini. If program has changed then there will be a question at the bottom of the screen. Type in W to save changes. Y to get out without save. N is not to exit.
- Click on OK at Wintos page.
4. Check to see if tab setting is set by:
- Click on Wintos icon from the main window.
- Click on data (at upper top menu).
- Select display settings (this is to set display at the screen).
- Adjust tab stop by typing in the tab numbers you want (numbers of space you want between each column). There should always be at least 1 number in that box.
- Click OK when you’re done with entering the numbers.

If everything is correct, you should be ready to load and run your test programs with this new software.
