CEI-100/CEI-200 Software Installation
The software distributed with each CEI-100/200 board is called CEI-SW
and is typically supplied on CD-ROM. A Quick Start, normally
distributed with the CD, provides instructions for installation and testing
on Windows NT/95/98 and DOS. The file INSTALL.TXT located in the
README directory of the CD includes the same installation instructions
and a detailed list of all included files.
DOS support is included in source code, libraries, and example
executables. Files that are intended for a specific operating system are
organized into folders named DOS or WIN32. DOS programs are
excellent for troubleshooting because they talk directly to the board
without the help of a device driver. A menu-driven program called
CONDOR.EXE is included in the DOS examples directory of the CD. It
is described in chapter 3, “CEI-100/200 ARINC Test Program”.
To quickly verify that the board is connected properly, start the program
CONDOR.EXE from DOS by typing (if configured at the default
addresses):
CONDOR
If the board is using different addresses, include the addresses in the
command. For example, for I/O address 388, memory address E000, type:
CONDOR /M E000 /I 388
If the program says “1 CEI-100 (CEI-200) ARINC controller(s) ready” on
the status line at the bottom of the display, the board is properly installed
and has been found by the software.
CEI-100/CEI-200 Self-test
When a CEI-100/200 board is installed in a new system, it is
recommended you perform a self-test to validate the interface.
1. Start the program CONDOR.EXE as defined in the previous section.
Command line switches are defined in Chapter 3, “CEI-100/200
ARINC Test Program”.
2. Select SETUP MENU on the Main Menu and press Enter.
3. Select INITIALIZE/TEST BOARD on the Setup Menu.
4. Select EXECUTE SELF-TEST.
5. Select INTERNAL self-test.
6. Run the test for at least five minutes.
