Using WinADFM to Test the ADFM
WinADFM can be used to test the ADFM. Figure 5-18 shows the Operate
dialog window. The ADFM can be tested for proper communication, bench
test the system to ensure the system electronics are operating properly, and
field-test the system after it has been installed.
Figure 5-1.
The tests are listed in the top half of the window next to the output display.
Results of each test are displayed in the terminal screen to the right of the
buttons. Test results are recorded in the station's Log File. If checked, the
log file keeps a record of all communication between the computer and the
ADFM once communications have been established.
