Note: To enable printing a serial number on a label, enter two or more

consecutive percent signs (%) in the text field. You must enter one

percent sign for each digit specified with the

serializ.exe

length (–l)

command line parameter.

Restore Defaults

Selecting this command directs the 2500 to restore its programming

parameters to their original defaults (such as a two pass verify, I/O

address = FFFFFFFF, Security option = 0, and others).

Data and Program

Pull-down Menus

The commands listed on these two menus allow you to select the

individual parameters needed to process devices. These are the same

commands listed in the Edit Task dialog box used to create a Task. These

individual commands are primarily used during troubleshooting and

allow you to quickly change one or two parameters and run a test

without having to create and edit a new Task for each test cycle.

TaskLink’s menus and dialog boxes refer to a file stored on one of the

internal drives (MSM or floppy) as a

Programmer Disk File.

Utilities Pull-down

Several commands available on the Utilities pull-down menu are used to

perform special operations. The specific commands and their functions

on the 2500 are described below.

–s

Sumcheck calculation flag.

Used to provide a new sumcheck for display on the

TaskLink screen as new serial numbers are generated.

This does not affect device data.

–t

Label text format.

Defines how the serial number will be printed on the

label. The options are either decimal or hexadecimal.

–td = decimal

–th = hexadecimal

Default:

Decimal (–td)

–w

Warning limit.

Sets a warning level before the serial number limit is

reached when an ending serial number is specified. If the

current serial number is within the ending serial number,

minus the warning limit, TaskLink displays a warning

message.

Default:

Zero

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

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

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.
