5. When the interface box is ready there will be a small message box that appears with
the information to put the unit into test mode after clicking OK. Click the OK
button.
6. There will now be a box that appears for approximately 60 seconds with green text
that says waiting for a test burst. At this point put the unit into test mode according to
the manufacturer's directions.
7. Once the message has been sent back to the PC, the PC screen will display the
verification report. When done viewing click the button at the bottom of the page. If
there is no message sent within 60 seconds there will be a message that signals the
test has timed out. If this happens go back to step 4 of this section and continue
forward.
8. There are also options to save a report and add text to the report. By clicking on the
button Add Text you can add up to three lines of text on the report. This text will be
placed after the last line of the report.
You can also save a report by clicking on the Save Report button. In the box
provided enter a name or path of the report you would like to save. If you do not
choose this option the report will not be saved. All reports are saved by their
hexadecimal ID code to the C:\FPR100\Reports directory unless otherwise specified.
For example, if you self-test a beacon that has the hexadecimal identification of
ADCD02019100401,
C:\FPR100\Reports\ADCD0219100401.ver.
However, you can customize saving the report. For example, if you wish to save a
report for the vessel Sara II to the a: drive you can enter in the text box a:\sara2.ver
If you wish to recall the saved report it can be viewed using the FPR-100 Report
Viewer. This program is available through the ACR website.
