How To Gather Data
1. If not already done, perform setup procedures described above.
2. Apply power to the PC. Use a terminal emulation program such as Windows Hyper Terminal set
to the communications parameters of:
19,200 baud
Odd parity
8 Data bits
1 stop bit
3. Apply power to the IBA5 System. Wait for the system to completely cycle the stacker. It should
cycle within 5 to 12 seconds of power up.
4. Type <ESC><ESC> <ESC> <B> to enter diagnostics mode.
5. Type <D> until DATA DUMP(XX): AFTER MATH displays on the PC monitor.
7. Using the terminal emulation program on the PC, open a log file.
8. The log file can have no more than 8 characters, with no more that 3 characters in the extension.
The 8 characters should contain information on the denomination, direction, and any other
pertinent information regarding the note such as an alternate printing or justification of the data
grab. The 3 characters can contain information regarding the acceptor used, such as unit number
one of three used, or the last three digits of the unit serial number.
9. Run notes through the acceptor. As each note passes through the acceptor, note data is collected in
the log file on the PC.
- Notes must be run with their proper note guide for the note width. Run notes center, left,
and right justified within that note guide track.
- Notes should be run in all 4 directions of insertion with a separate log file for each
direction and for each denomination.
For example: A set of 100 sample $5 notes will create four data files, one for each direction.
Running an additional set of 100 sample $10 notes will generate four additional
files. These two runs will generate a total of eight data files.
Notes inserted in the Face-Up direction with the top of the note to the right will
be called “Up-Right”. If the note inserted is a $5 bill, justified to the left of the
note guide, face-up, top-right, the file should be named 5UR.LFT where 5 is
the denomination, UR is for UP-RIGHT and .LFT is for left justified. For
countries using peculiar printing styles, such as Switzerland, direction can be
described as FUFF (face up feature inserted first), FUFL (face up feature
inserted last), FDFF (face down feature inserted first), and FDFL (face down
feature inserted last).
