TaskLink Software
TaskLink software runs on a PC and coordinates device programming,
testing, handling, labeling, and binning operations on the ProMaster
2500. TaskLink is available in a DOS version and a Windows™ version.
The software procedures and instructions in this manual assume the use
of TaskLink for DOS. If you are using the Windows version, refer to the
TaskLink for Windows Getting Started Guide
and the associated online Help
for detailed information.
PC System
Requirements
TaskLink (DOS) has the following minimum system requirements:
AT
,
PS/2
,
386
,
486
, or
Pentium™ PC
with the following:
• DOS 3.3 or later (DOS 5.0 or higher recommended)
• 640K RAM (2 MB of extended RAM recommended)
• Extended memory manager such as
himem.sys
or QEMM
(recommended)
• Disk-caching software, such as
smartdrv.sys
(recommended)
• Two RS-232C serial ports assigned as COM1 and COM2
•Microsoft
®
-compatible bus mouse (optional)
• A hard disk with at least 2 MB of free disk space
• Color monitor (recommended)
• 3.5-inch disk drive
• Two RS-232 serial cables
Modes of Operation
TaskLink displays different screens depending on whether it is to be run
by the system administrator or the system operator. These two modes are
started using different commands and serve different purposes.
•The
system administrator
defines the specific configurations for each
Task (job) that the operator will run. The menus in
administrator
mode
display all the options available through TaskLink. Specific
steps involved in creating a Task are described in Chapter 3.
•The
system operator
is interested in achieving quick, error-free
processing of devices. The first screen displayed in
operator mode
presents a list of Tasks that have been created by the system
administrator. The operator selects a Task to run and begins
processing devices after a minimal number of screen selections. The
typical procedure for selecting and running a Task is described in
Chapter 4.
