PROGRAMMATION
5.11.1 Customer search
A useful function of the program is the CUSTOMER
SEARCH. This function allows the user to “filter” the
archive and display only the files that satisfy the conditions
established in the window (see Fig. 5.16). Note that when
a search is performed, only part of the archive is displayed.
This is indicated by the appearance of the notation
SEARCH RESULTS in the upper right corner, as in Fig.
5.17.
These conditions is applicable to all the fields that make
up the archive. For example:
Moreover, during a search it is possible to browse the files
that have been found with the archive consultation button
(See Fig. 5.15).
To end the search and go back to the complete archive,
click on the END SEARCH button. Note that if no files
satisfy the search criteria, an empty file will be displayed.
The only possible action in this case is to press the END
SEARCH button before performing another archive
operation.
5.11.2 Modifications and deletion of customer
Files
To eliminate a customer file, simply highlight the
file and press the button DELETE CUSTOMER
FILE.
The program requests confirmation before
proceeding with the deletion.
To modify the data in a customer file, simply access the
cells containing the data and replace with new data. Note
that the data that has been automatically entered by the
program cannot be changed. To move to the preceding
cell, use the ARROW UP key. To go to the following cell,
press either the ARROW DOWN key or ENTER key.
As has been explained, dates have to be entered in the
valid format.
To confirm the changes, click on the CONFIRM
MODIFICATIONS button. If a customer file has been
changed by mistake, it is possible to cancel the changes
and return to the pre-existing data by clicking on the
CANCEL MODIFICATION button. This operation
cancels all the changes on the current file. Notice that if
these two buttons are enabled, it means that changes have
been performed on the current file.
If a change has been performed on a customer file, and
the user clicks on either the CONSULT ARCHIVE or the
SEARCH buttons, the computer prompts to either save or
cancel the changes before executing these commands.
5.12 Program termination
To terminate the program, press the ESC key on the
keyboard when in the main screen. If the ECU is connected
to the PC, the connection is automatically terminated.

As the above examples illustrate, the search criterion
includes three fundamental parts that have to be entered
by the operator as in Fig. 5.15:
1 Search field (last name, car model, installation date, etc.)
2 Condition to satisfy (equal to, greater than, smaller than)
3 Value to search (a value pertinent to the entered field)
Note that the “greater than” and “smaller than” conditions
(respectively marked with the “>” and “<“ notations) can
be applied only to the installation date and to the program
creation date fields. This enables the search of files created
before or after a certain date.
For other fields, it is only possible to use the “equal to”
condition. In this cases, only the initial part of a search
value may be entered (eg. ROS will find ROSSI; see Fig.
5.16).
