DIAGNOSTIC
Use the Diagnostic routines to check display performance, to verify sounds and music, to test switches,
and to calibrate and verify the Touchscreen.
VIDEO TEST
Choose this test group to examine the CRT linearity, uniformity, or color characteristics.
SOUND TEST Check the audio components with game sounds and music. Have you heard them all?
SWITCH TEST Manually test of currency acceptors, cabinet SETUP and CALIBRATE switches.
CALIBRATE
Set the Touchscreen Controller coordinates to correspond to fixed screen locations.
CALIB. TEST Verify Touchscreen sensitivity and linearity for the entire active touchscreen area.
RETURN
Revert to the main menu screen. You can then return to Attract mode.
TYPICAL DIAGNOSTICS SUB MENU SCREEN
These routines provide you with a means of keeping the Touchmaster
®
in top operating condition. Perform
these tests on a regular basis. Players may lose interest if they have to compensate for screen
maladjustments, in addition to remembering the rules of the game. All of these tests are brief, and may be
done in any order.
When you make adjustments to the Touchmaster
®
calibration settings, the values are stored in memory.
The game is very stable and retains its accuracy if not moved from the spot where it was last calibrated.
However, the internal electronics cannot compensate for changes in nearby magnetic and electrical fields
that may occur when the game is relocated to another position.
Verify the calibration each time the Touchmaster
®
is moved, in addition to the regular maintenance
checks, for best game performance.
.**Some games do not have a SET CLOCK box. The clock provides accurate time and date information
which is required to set the length of tournaments and communicate network data. Once set, the clock
runs until the battery dies or some major fault occurs. Periodically examine the time and date on the
system setup screen for correct values, and use the SET CLOCK utility to make changes when needed.
You can run the Calibrate routine without going through the Menu System by pressing the CALIBRATE
button in the coin vault. However, this omits the Touchscreen Controller tracking test. The CALIBRATE
button was included to encourage a quick check of the touchscreen functions each time the cash door is
emptied.
