7.5 Test Window
The Test window is accessed using the
Test
button on the main screen. It shows the status of
various i50 inputs, and allows control over outputs. Figure 7 shows the Test window.

The Serial Ports frame contains checkboxes that activate the i50 and PC serial control outputs. If the
programmer is connected to i50 COM1 or COM2, labels will be shown to indicate the status of serial
inputs. These states should change when the corresponding outputs are toggled, assuming a full-
handshaking cable is being used.
The Outputs frame allows the i50 digital outputs, VOUT line, and COM2/3 ports to be turned on and
off for testing purposes. Note: any changes made to output pins will be discarded when the unit
restarts. Note that turning off the COM2/3 ports while connected to one of these ports will cause the
programmer to lose contact with the i50.
Checkboxes are also provided for controlling internal circuits. These control the GPS receiver, 4V
power supply (cellular modem), Iridium modem, LEDs, and cellular specific circuits.
Finally, the
Test Sleep Current
button turns off all outputs and puts the microprocessor into sleep
mode, allowing measurement of sleep mode current draw. Note: the unit must be rebooted manually
to exit this test.
