This section documents the Aisys Service Application that runs on a Windows based
computer and communicates with the high performance display unit (HPDU). It is
compatible with Aisys system software 3.0 or greater.
To enable communication with the Service Application, the Aisys system must be in the
Install/Service mode (or in a failed state provided the display unit is able to
communicate).
The application can be used to diagnose electronically detectable failures in an Aisys
system.
This program is for machine diagnosis. It cannot be used for machine checkout or
acceptance tests.
Minimum requirements to run the application include:
• Personal computer using a Pentium 600 or higher microprocessor
• Windows 2000/XP
• 1024 by 768 resolution (or higher) video adapter
• Minimum of 128 MB of RAM, 256 MB recommended
• About 150 MB free hard disk space
• Microsoft-compatible mouse or equivalent device
• Serial Port or USB port with an RS-232 adapter
The PC used should meet the GE laptop standards. Screen resolution should be set to
96 dpi.
The Service Application communicates with the system through the serial port on the
display unit (refer to section 2.5.1).
By default, the communication is channeled through the COM1 port on the PC.
Note: Ensure that no other application (such as PDA hot-sync) is using this port while
the Service Application is running.
If other ports are available, you can select an available port in "Preferences" on the
File menu (Section 12.5.1).
Launching the Service Application opens the System Status screen. The startup screen
establishes proper communications with the system.
