3-28 ProMaster 2500 User Manual
Programmer Interface
— When this command is selected, TaskLink
automatically displays a new set of menus so you can run diagnostic tests
on the programming electronics. Refer to Chapter 5 for more information
on running diagnostics on the programming electronics.
VT100 on Programmer Port
— Select this command when you update
the
Algorithm/System
disk(s). A description of this update procedure is
included with the
ProMaster 2500 User Notes
that are distributed
periodically.
Device List Update
and
Task Database Device Check
— After you
install the new Algorithm disk(s), follow the procedures to update the
device list and then to check the Task database before running your
existing Tasks or creating new ones. If you do not complete all the steps
in the update procedure, TaskLink may occasionally report error
messages indicating that the device in your Task could not be found.
ProMaster Package Update
—You will be notified in the
ProMaster 2500
User Notes
when support for new package types have been added, and
the Notes will instruct you to install new firmware EPROM(S) in the 2500.
TaskLink will need to be updated with the new package type(s) so it can
display them as options in the ProMaster 2500 dialog box. Select this
option to have TaskLink upload the new package information.

Options Pull-down
Menu
Many of the commands and options displayed on this menu are intended
to be used with other products supported by TaskLink. To get
information on these commands in TaskLink’s online Help, press
F1
.
Only the commands used with the 2500 are described below.
Programmer Type and
Handler Type
Selecting 2500 Text or Graphics automatically selects Handler type. Select
2500 Text when your 2500 has an impact (dot matrix) printer installed.
Select 2500 Graphics when a thermal printer is installed.
Handler Sorting
This screen allows you to direct devices to output categories based on the
result of the programming operation. The 2500 has two output tubes. The
default configuration directs all Category 1 devices (those that have
Passed
programming) into output tube 1 (the right output tube as you are
facing the machine). All devices that fail the program or verify operations
(category 2) are placed in output tube 2.
You may change the routing of devices by changing either its category
from this dialog box or by changing the binning assignments on the
2500’s front panel display. Refer to the System Setup/Handler Setup
Menus to reassign the devices to different output tubes.
Error Limit
When you enter a value other than 0 (zero) in this field, TaskLink will
stop when you get the prescribed number of consecutive programming
errors. For example, if you set the value to 3, any programming error that
occurs on three consecutive devices stops TaskLink, and a failure
message is written on the screen. TaskLink will not stop if the 2500
detects two programming errors and one continuity failure, since they are
not the same. Setting the value to 0 (the default) turns off this feature, and
TaskLink will not stop even if all devices fail with the same error.
ProMaster Retries...
If you experience an error during programming, this parameter instructs
the 2500 to lift the device out of the programming block, insert it again,
and attempt a second device programming operation.

3-30 ProMaster 2500 User Manual
Programmer Port... and
ProMaster Port...
These screens allow you to change the configuration on the two RS-232C
ports on the PC, which are configured for the Programmer Port on COM
1 and the Handler port on COM 2 using no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop
bit. These settings should not need to be changed under normal
operation. If you do change the configuration, you must exit TaskLink to
save the new settings.
Set Message Editor...
This parameter must be set so TaskLink can find the ASCII text editor you
will be using to create your Kit messages. When you select this
command, TaskLink allows you to enter the DOS path and executable file
name to start your ASCII text editor. You must save these messages in an
unformatted text file called
tl.msg
. (Refer to page 3-36 for more
information on creating message screens for Kits.)
System Security
Using the security options, the system administrator can configure the
system so all users (administrators and operators) are required to enter a
password before they can access TaskLink menus and run the system. To
use the
Security Setup
menu, select
Options
from the Main menu. Then
select
System Security...
from the
Options
pull-down menu.
Press
↵
to access the
TaskLink Security Setup
dialog box.
Note: The security system used by TaskLink is DOS based, and is thus restricted
by the limitations imposed by that operating system.
Three levels of security are available:
1.
No security
—Equivalent to earlier versions of TaskLink, this level
allows any user to access either operator or administrator mode. This
is the default security level.
2.
Single Administrator Mode Password
—TaskLink requires a
password to enter the administrator mode. One common password is
used by any user to access this mode. No password is required to
operate TaskLink in operator mode.
