Test
The test section of the Radar W software is accessed by choosing Test
from the Main Menu. When Test is chosen the following window appears.
Three options are given in this menu: Function button check, Diagnosis
and Auto Test. Function button test will allow you to see a screen with the
name of each button on it. When you press that button, the name will be
highlighted on the screen. This is useful for troubleshooting switch prob-
lems.
Diagnosis will bring up a window that shows you the Self Diagnostic his-
tory and the present Emergency codes. These can be read from the
camcorder by pressing the Read button in that window. You can also
clear the emergency information from this screen.
Auto-Test can be used for scripting sequences as was used in Lanc. A
script would contain operation that the camcorder would complete such
as Play 10 seconds, Rewind 5 seconds and Stop. The camcorder can
then be set to repeat this sequence an infinite number of times. This
feature was not available at the time of this writing. It may not be included
in the first release of Radar W software either.
This concludes the discussion on the basic use of the new Radar W jig.
