INTRODUCTION

DISCUSSION

The Program category is used to create, load, import, and edit wire list programs for testing and assembly. The Learn function, using a completed known-good assembly, is the typical method used in creating wire lists for test applications. It stores the continuities in an arrangement that enhances test speed. When a known-good assembly is not available for a test program, however, the wire list can be entered through the keyboard using the Edit function.

For most build applications, the Edit function (Program Editor) is used, in order to control the wiring sequence and thus maintain uniformity among assemblies. The program editor also is used to enter cross references or make engineering changes in the wire list, or when programming components.

There are three ways to create a wire list program:

• EDIT - for entering a wire list program through the keyboard, using the Program Editor.

• LEARN - for creating a wire list automatically by scanning a Known-Good assembly connected to the scanner boards.

• IMPORT - for acquiring an existing wire list program that was created from another source.

Programs already in disk memory may be obtained through a Load Program function. When a wire list program has been created or edited, a test file is generated by a Compile function.

Programming functions are selected through the Program category from the main screen. From the main screen, move the category highlighting bar to the Program selection, which then displays the program window as shown below.

To select a mode, move the scrolling bar to highlight the desired mode, and • press ENTER. The desired selection also may be executed by pressing the mtensified letter of the mode.

A separate Programming Manual provides details on how to use the Program Editor.

CROSS REFERENCE LABELS

When the Series 90 creates a wire list using Learn, the resulting wire list is saved using tester point numbers. Harness connector/pin numbers can then be entered as cross references, relating each tester point number to the corresponding harness connector/pin number. Once the cross references are entered, faults are displayed using connector/pin references.

PROGRAM FUNCTIONS

EDITOR

The Editor function is used to enter the Program Editor: Just move the highlighting bar to Editor, using the down arrow key, and press ENTER. The Program Editor takes a few seconds to load.

The Series 90 Program Editor is window-driven; its edit command categories are displayed • across the top of the screen as shown below. Selection of a category results in a window (for the category chosen), which in turn provides further selections. The category windows are opened by holding the AL T key while pressing the first letter of the category. For details on using the Program Editor, refer to the Series 90 Programming Manual.

COMPILE

The Compile function is used to process the wire list after it has been edited. When a wire list program has been created or modified through the Editor, a test file must be generated ( compiled). The Compile function must be performed before the program can be used for testing.

When the compile function is executed, it applies to the program name previously loaded and displayed in the upper right corner of the screen. Use the Load Program function to load a different program for compiling. If a program has not been loaded before selecting Compile, the Load Program function automatically is executed first.

COMPILING A PROGRAM

1. Move the highlighting bar to Load Program, using the down or up arrow, and press ENTER.

2. To load a program, follow the instructions later in this section on the Load Program mode. When the program has been loaded, the program name will be displayed at the top right corner of the screen. This is the program that will be processed to generate the test file when the Compile function is selected.

3. Scroll up to Compile and press ENTER, or press the letter C. Mter a few seconds the compiler will display one of two windows:

a) IF TEST FILE ALREADY EXISTS - the highlighting bar is positioned over the Yes answer; press ENTER to compile the program.

System Options

The Learn function is used to create a wire list program automatically by scanning a completed known-good assembly and storing the continuities. The test parameters, such as the threshold value used during learn, are determined by the default settings. Once the • assembly is scanned, the monitor displays the number of continuities learned, with a check sum code. The check sum is generated according to how the continuities are arran~ed in the wire list. This code can be used to double check if two learn-known-good operatIons yield the same wire list. In addition to the check sum, the number of circuits in the wire list will be displayed.

LEARNING A KNOWN-GOOD ASSEMBLY

1. Move the highlighting bar to Load Program, using the down or up arrow, and press ENTER.

2. To load a program, follow the instructions later in this section on the Load Program mode. When the program has been loaded, the program name will be displayed at the top right corner of the screen. The learned continuities will be stored with the displayed program name.

3. Scroll up to Learn and press ENTER, or press the letter L. If a program has not previously been loaded, Load Program mode is automatically executed first. If the file name is not a new one, the warning message shown below is displayed.

To select an Import source from the opened window, press the highlighted letter or use the arrow keys to move the scrolling bar to the desired source, and then press ENTER.

Import Sources

Model 4000 Program

This function is used to import a wire list program that was created for the Model 4000C. The program is typically imported into the Series 90 system through the 3.5-inch floppy disk since the Model 4000 does not use a DOS disk format.

Model 512 Program

This function is used to import a wire list program that was created for the Model 512. There are two ways to import Model 512 programs:

• Inserting a Model 512 3.5-inch floppy diskette into the Series 90 and running the Import Model 512 program from drive A.

• Using DOS to copy a Model 512 3.5-inch floppy diskette onto the Series 90 hard disk and then running the Import Model 512 Program from Drive C.

The Model 512 uses a DOS disk format.

•

7.0 Program Page 7

Menu Program

The Menu Program selection is used to import wire list programs that were created for the Model 4000 using the Menu program. A Menu wire list program is made up of four ASCII files: the wire list file, cross reference file, option file, and assignment file. They have file extensions of SRC, CRF, OPT, and ASN. There are two ways to import Menu programs:

• Inserting a Menu program saved on a 3.5-inch floppy diskette into the Series 90 and running the Import Menu Program from drive A.

• Using DOS to copy the Menu program from the 3.5-inch floppy diskette onto the Series 90 hard disk and then running the Import Menu Program from Drive C.

The second method is required if the Menu program is contained on multiple diskettes. If picture files are also being imported, the Menu program must be copied into a directory structure identical to the one used from which it came. The Import Menu Program from Drive C can then be run after the Menu files and picture files are copied into the appropriate directories using DOS.

Text File

The Text File selection is used to import a wire list from another source. This includes programs downloaded from CAD and saved in ASCII files, wire list programs entered from a text editor, and programs output from a database system. Refer to the back of this section for the Text File format specifications.

Running Import

The location of the program to be imported (Import-From) and the location for saving the program (Import-To) are specified through selection windows. The (Import-From) location such as drive, directory, and file name is specified first, while an "IMPORT FROM .. ," message is displayed on the lower left screen. While specifying the Import-To, location, an "IMPORT TO ... " message is displayed. Selection windows are used to specify the following import information:

IMPORT-FROM LOCATION IMPORT-TO LOCATION

Import-From Location

The Import function must begin with specifying the Import-From Location.

1.

SPECIFYING THE IMPORT - FROM LOCATION

With the Import Category window opened, move the highlighting bar to one of the Import functions, using the down arrow, and press ENTER. A disk drive select window, as shown below, will appear.

7.0 Program Page 9

The programs listed in a program select window are determined by the import function selected. Model 4000 programs can be imported only from floppy diskettes. Therefore, Model 4000 selection lIsts all the programs on drive A. Model 512 and Menu Programs have specific file extensions, EHT and SRC respectively. A Model 512 selection lists programs with EHT extensions (i.e. A:\*.EHT), and a Menu Program selection lists programs with a SRC extension (C:\directory\*.SRC). Text files do not require a specific extension and therefore a Text File selection lists all files in the selected directory (C:\directory\ *. *). Program select window examples are:

A:\*.EHT C:\CABLESCN\*.SRC C:\DBASE\*.*

TEXT IMPORT SPECIFICATIONS

DISCUSSION

The Text File function is used to import wire list programs from other sources such as databases, CAD files, and ASCII files. Importing from these sources is accomplished through an ASCII file written in a specific format. The wire list information from other sources must be processed and saved to an ASCII file as specified below. The Text File function is then run to load the ASCII file into the Series 90. Refer to Import in this section for discussion and procedures for importing.

TEXT FILE FORMAT

A wire list program has of five types of data. Each of these five data types is written into its respective section of the ASCII file, with each type identified by its keyword enclosed in square brackets, e.g., [keyword]. The data associated with the keyword then follow. The five data-type sections of the ASCII file and their keywords are shown below:

• Wire List [WIRES]

• Cross Reference List [POINTS]

• Program Options [OPTIONS]

• Lamp Driver List [LAMPS]

• Build Operations [OPERATIONS]

A Series 90 program requires at least the Wire List and Cross Reference List. The Program Options, Lamp Driver List, and Build Operations are optional.

Each line of data has two or more fields, which are separated by commas. Fields that contain commas, such as in Operations, are additionally separated by double quotation (") characters. (Data strings within the fields cannot contain double quotation characters.) Leading and trailing spaces on each line preceding and following the data fields are disregarded. Tab and non-printing characters are converted to spaces. (When using a word processor, save the import file with its ASCII or Text-only option to remove the non-printing characters. )

7.0 Program Page 15

DATA FORMATS

Field formats for the five data types are described below. Wire List and Cross Reference List data are required for importing into the Series 90; the others are optional. Each data type must begin with its keyword enclosed in square brackets.

Wire List

Wire List data are required for a wire list program. The keyword is [WIRES]. Refer to the Wire List section in the Programming manual for additional information on the various fields. Each line entered in the wire list represents a continuity and consists of eight data fields as shown below.

<From>,<To>,<Comment>,<Component>,<Orientation>,<Value 1 >,<Value 2>,<Value 3>

The first three fields describe the circuit connection and are interpreted the same with or without a component in the circuit. The fourth field specifies wire only, or the type of component contained in the circuit. The fifth field is used for components, such as diodes and electrolytic capacitors, where a component direction is important. The remaining fields specify the component values and tolerances.

Comment

- specifies where the wire originates. The From field can have up to 16 alphanumeric characters.

Valid inputs: 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters

- specifies the terminating end of the wire. The To field can have up to 16 alphanumeric characters. The first character cannot have a dollar ($) sign character; it is reserved for a build only circuit which is not tested for continuity.

Valid inputs: 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters

- is used to display a 32-character comment on the second line of the build display screen. The Comment (Circuit Label) can have up to 32 alphanumeric characters.

Value Fields for Wires

The three value fields for wire (continuity) circuits are optional. When the value fields are omitted, the circuit is tested according to the values entered under Program Options [OPTIONS] as described later in this section. These value fields are specified only when a particular circuit is to be tested differently. The three fields are interpreted as follows:

Value 1

Value 2

Value 3

- specifies in scientific notation the continuity threshold for a wire component (W).

Valid inputs: 1 to 1.0E+3

- specifies in seconds the dwell time, or pause, from the time voltage is applied to the time circuit to the time continuity is tested.

Valid inputs: 0 to 9.9, in.1 increments

- specifies the applied test voltage in scientific notation.

Valid inputs: 2.0E-03 or 5.12

Value Fields for Components

•

The following value field specifications are for resistors (R), capacitors (C), and diodes (D). • Interpretation of the Value 1 and 2 fields depends on Value 3. If Value 3 has TOLERANCE entered, Value 1 is a nominal value and Value 2 is the tolerance. If Value 3 has RANGE entered, Value 1 is the lower limit of the value and Value 2 is the upper limit value.

Value 1

Value 2

Value 3

- specifies in scientific notation either the nominal value or lower limit of the component. Capacitors are in farads, resistors in ohms, and diodes (forward voltage drop) in volts. Components are specified as follows:

Capacitors = 5.0E-1O to 1.OE-2 Resistors = 1.0 to 9.9E+5 Diodes = 5.0E-2 to 4.8

- specifies either a tolerance in decimal or the upper value limit of the component range.

Valid inputs: Tolerance = .10 to .99 Range = (see component range above)

- specifies use of Value 1 and Value 2 fields, tolerance or range (upper and lower limits).

Valid inputs: TOLERANCE or RANGE

• Cross Reference List

•

•

The Cross Reference List section of the file begins with the keyword [POINTS]. Cross Reference represents the interface wiring from the tester to the harness under test. The test point is where the interface wire originates at the tester. Refer to the Wire List section of the Programming Manual for a discussion of the Cross Reference List. Lines in the Cross Reference List assign tester point numbers to the reference labels entered in the wire list. One or two lamp drivers may also be assigned to each test point as well as the lamp mode, blink or steady. Each line in the Cross Reference List consists of six fields as shown below.

<Label>,<Point>,<Lamp l>,<Mode l>,<Lamp 2>,<Mode 2>

The first two fields assign a wire list reference label to a tester point number. The remaining fields assign one or two lamp drivers to the Cross Reference and specify lamp operating mode, blinking or steady state. Lamps are used in the build modes to identify assembly locations on the harness board.

Mode 2

specifies a character string used to reference a connection on the harness or fixture (i.e., connector/pin number). It can have up to 16 characters.

Valid inputs: 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters

- specifies which test point on the rear panel of the tester is interfaced to the connection relating to the Label.

Valid inputs: 1 to 131,072

- assigns a lamp driver to the test point that will activate each time the Label is displayed during build. The lamp driver is assigned using a 16-character lamp label. Lamp labels are assigned in the Lamp List described below (under Lamp Driver List).

Valid inputs: 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters

- specifies whether the lamp operates in a blinking or a steady state mode.

Valid inputs: BLINK or STEADY

- specifies a second lamp driver to the test point.

- specifies the operating mode for lamp 2.

Program Options

Program Options data are not required for a wire list program. When a program is imported without Program Options, the options are set to the system default. Refer to the Options section in the Reference Manual and to the Files and Views section in the Programming Manual. The Program Options section of the file begins with the keyword [OPTIONS]. The Program Options line of data contains six fields as shown below.
