Built-In-Test Information
There are two ways to get started with your
FASTRAK instrument as with any new instrument. You
could "wing it," which involves a great deal of
assumptions based on either previous experience and/or
visual inspection, and hope for the best. Or, you
could sit down and read the whole manual, line-byline, and then start. The former method inevitably
leads to massive amounts of frustration and irritation
and is bad for your blood pressure. The latter
method, if followed exactly, will either lead to
eventual success or completely cure your insomnia
which in either case will be unacceptably time
consuming.
The following is offered as an alternative
approach. However, this approach does not preclude
using the manual as a precise guide, reference and
final arbiter.
NOTE: This approach assumes a single receiver, use of
the RS-232 serial port at 9600 Baud communicating with
a PC through Comm1, and use of the TERMINAL program
located on the accompanying diskette.
1. Do visually and carefully inspect the
instrument and the accompanying receiver(s) and
transmitter. Note external switches and port
numbering. If you have any questions concerning these
items refer to Section 5 in the manual.
2. Set up the instrument close to your host
computer and away from large metal objects like file
cabinets, metal desks etc.
