UserManual CETest
This manual describes the usage of SKIDATA CE-Test V1.75 and higher. Use CE-Test to verify the functionality of any type of Coder Unlimited (CarAccess and PeopleAccess).
2.1
System Requirements
CE-Test V1.75 requires installed Microsoft .NET 1.1 (or higher) and SKIDATA Communication Layer 2.20 for Microsoft .NET. A USB-driver for Coder Unlimited is included in the installation files. CE-Test can be downloaded from SKIDATA TechRepository and is included in SKIDATA CarAccess Tools CD. Coder Unlimited can be connected by using a serial or USB connection.
2.2
Installation
Enter the Directory, were CETest is located and run Setup.exe. The Wizard will guide you through the installation, which is a standard Windows installation package. After the installation process a program folder is created, which looks like the picture below.
Structure of the start up menu
If you install CETest the first time, start Setup Commlayer before running CETest, because starting it directly may cause an exception. Running Setup Commlayer installs the Communication Layer to your system and configures it for running with the Coder Unlimited. The Installation is done with a standard Windows installation. After this step you can start CETest from the Start Menu. Anytime you experience problems with CETest, try running Setup Commlayer.

Tracewindow
2.3.1 Monitor / Trace window: In comparison to the Trace window, only received data is displayed in the Monitor window and data is decoded to a readable layout in most cases. Data is displayed in hex and character in one trace window. Sent data is displayed in the same window, time will be logged in the tracefile.

Get LB values Reads values for lightbarriers analog and digital. Decoded values are displayed in the monitor window. Get Ticket Positions Reads used ticket positions. These positions are the logical saved positions in the firmware and therefor independent from the lightbarriers. Selftest Displays the difference from Current state to Target state of components Get ADC Status Displays analog values as heating threshold values or currencies Is Alive An Acknowledge is sent by Coding Unit if it is operating properly Set Equipment Initiates a scan of current state of components and saves this state as new target state Get Equipment Displays current state of components Add.
