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
Fl.
Only
the
commands
used
with
the
2500
are
described
below.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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

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.
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.)
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
f/ius
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.
