
Enter the Company Name. Do not use commas or periods.

Enter the serial com port number that the RS-232 cable is connected. The default is 1. If the EsdTest program will only be
used as aserver, and never have a meter connected to it, a zero can be entered.

Select the printer 'Font Name' item from the 'Setup' menu, and select a fixed font width font such as Courier, Courier New,
Terminal, System or Fixed. Print a report by selecting the 'Reports Menu' and clicking on 'Print Monthly'. The user should
pick a month with 31 days in order to check the proper type width. The printer setup should be in the Landscape mode.
Check the printout. Adjust the 'Printer Font Size' item of the 'Setup' menu to expand or contract the lines to fit the page.
Select size 7.5 font.

The configuration menu contains an ignore workgroup box. If maintenance workers need to be tested but not included in
the exception report, then enter the maintenance workgroup prefix to be ignored in the exception report.

A label can be printed every time an employee passes by setting the tag type box to 1 (if a Zebra S600 printer is
connected), or 2 (if a general purpose printer is connected), or 0 if no tag is to be printed. If sending to a Zebra S600,
make sure that the default printer configuration in Start Settings Printer is set to a Generic Text printer driver.

If a report overflows the text viewer, an alternative viewer can be selected by inserting the path into the Alt Viewer Program
line of the Setup General Configuration Window.

If the test fails, the test window can be made to time out for any period from 1-30 seconds if another test is not conducted.
This way the following employee will see a failed test window left on the screen. This time is set from the General
configuration window, in the "Max retest time" text box. Setting it to 0 will cause the test window to never time out.

The time that a good test reading is displayed may be varied by changing the "Good Reading time" text box. This interval
is in seconds, and may include a decimal point.

The Welcome message can be modified for different languages by entering new wording into the Welcome Message text
box. Leaving it blank will default to "Welcome".

The "Please scan your badge" message can be modified for different languages by entering the new wording into the Scan
Badge Message text box.

If the "Allow Offline Testing " box checked, the program will allow the combo tester to conduct measurements even if the
employee is not logged in, but the combo meter will use it's internal dip switch alarm values. Operation in this mode is not
recommended because the employee could scan in with a faulty badge, not notice that the test window had failed to open,
test, and think he had tested properly. Operation in this mode also prevents the internal rechargeable battery (if installed)
from charging. Operation in this mode also allows unauthorized personnel to open the door (if the combo meter is
equipped with a door opener relay). If testing of unregistered employees is desired, the preferred method is just to set up a
dummy employee named AAAnyoneElse with a workgroup designation of ???, that way any unrecognized employees will
be tested normally. Note - once an employee is logged in, the computer limits will be used.

In the Exception reports, if it is only desired to show employees who have failed the strap resistance test, instead of
showing all employees in that workgroup who either failed, or did not test, or who are absent, then click the "show failures
only on exception reports" check box. Note that this option is not recommended, since it will not list employees who forgot
to test.

Some computer operating systems have automatic screen savers that blank the screen and ask for a password after an
inactive period of no keyboard entry. This screen saver timeout can either be disabled by turning it off at the operating
system level (recommended) or disabling it by clicking on the "disable screen saver" check box.

If it is desired to allow the employees to minimize the program when the administrator password is enabled, then click the
"Allow Minimizing form" box.

If it is desired to allow the employees to show a reduced size program when the administrator password is enabled, then
click the "Allow Reducing form" box. If the title bar is double clicked, the program will reduce in size. Double click it again
to return to full size.

The language options for the testing window can be chosen in the language window. See the section on "Language
display".

To run the "record exit" option, click the "Record Exit Times" check box. This will record the time that an employee left the
area. To record an exit, swipe the badge but do not press the tester button. It is permissible for the next person swipes
their card before the test window clears the screen. The test window time delay can be set in the General Configuration
window. To view the entrance and exit times in a report, use either the "Daily" report or the "Individual" report. (The "View
Entire Log" report shows what was originally recorded in the log.txt file, so will display the entrance and exit times on
separate lines)

If it is desired to know which station a test was conducted from, then enter a station ID in the "StationID" box. This
parameter can then be added to the remote data base test log. Use an ID such as A01 where A is the facility, and 01 is the
station number at that facility.
