Configuration form help

1. Company Name: Enter the Company Name.  Do not use commas or periods.
2. Comm port: 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.
3. Printer Font Size: 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.
4. Ignore Workgroup: 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.
5. Print a tag of type: 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.
6. Password expire time: time in minutes.  0 is infinite.
7. Alt viewer program: 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.
8. Max retest time: 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.
9. Max test time: the time in seconds that the testing window will a test to occur before timing out.
10. Good reading time: 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.
11. Welcome message: 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.
12. Scan badge message: The Please scan your badge message can be modified for different languages by entering the new wording into the Scan Badge Message text box.
13. Allow offline testing: 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.
14. Show failures only: 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.
15. Disable screen saver: 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. 
16. Allow minimizing form: 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. 
17. "Allow reducing form: 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.
18. Language: The language options for the testing window can be chosen in the language window.  See the section on Language display.
19. Record exit times: 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)
20. Station ID: 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.
21. Color: The background color of the "Scan your badge" window can be set with the "color" parameter.  Setting it blank or 0 will default to a light blue color.  It can be set to any color by setting to BBGGRR where BB is the color blue hex number value 0-ff,  GG is the color green hex number value 0-ff, and RR is the color red hex number value 0-ff.  For example FF0000 is bright blue, 00FF00 is bright green,  0000FF is bright red, 00FFFF is yellow since red light and green light appears yellow.  Setting it to 8000000F will default to the system button color.
