3.10. VERIFYING YOUR PROGRAM
Typically in production use, your program would be downloaded to AT Series Tester
from the Server, which is a PC resident software package, described in detail in
Chapter 4. However, before you transfer your program to the Server archive, you
should always verify it by running it on an actual transformer.
The Editor software will enable you to download a program directly to the tester, and
to execute it from the PC keyboard.
Before you attempt to run the program:
1. Make sure you have connected your tester's Auxiliary Port (on the rear panel) to
a suitable Comm Port on your PC. (This may be Comm Port 2 if your mouse is
already using Comm Port 1.)
2. Set up the Comm Port on the PC.
From the Top Level menu, select
Setup>
Communications
In the dialogue box,
select the PC communications port
which is connected to the tester.
WARNING: If the chosen ‘COM’ port is reserved by another Windows
application, an error message will appear. You should select another port.
3. Fit the appropriate fixture to the tester and plug in the specimen transformer.
You are now ready to download and run your test program.
4. From the Top Level menu bar, select:
Tester>
Download Program
]
The Editor will now down-load the
test program to the tester. After a few seconds, you should see a message to say
that the Download was successful.
5. Again, from the Top Level menu bar, select:
Tester>
Run Program
The test program will now begin execution.
