5.1.18. Diagnostic ballots
Diebold Election Systems provides Diagnostic ballots to be used for the Reader Diagnostics Test.
These ballots feature a full grid of blank voting ovals in all possible voting positions on the
oval
side of the card and 1/32” wide horizontal lines connecting all of the timing marks on the marked
side of the card. Unmarked diagnostic ballots should register 100% of voting positions marked on
the marked side and 4.87% of voting positions marked in each column on the oval side, provided
the top and bottom rows are fully marked on the oval side.
Diagnostic ballots come in several different styles, each style being pre-printed with the
necessary card ID and timing marks.
The Reader Diagnostics Test report is valid only for Diagnostic ballots.
5.1.19. Displaying data on a terminal
In some cases technical staff may wish to display information from the Reader Diagnostics Test
on an external display device with a RS232 serial port.
Note that this feature is for technical staff
only .
In order to use this feature, the COMM. PORT jack at the back of the AccuVote-OS should be
plugged into the external display device by means of an RS232 serial cable. Configure the port
on the external device for 9600 baud and 8-bit, no-parity transmission.
Ballot markings are displayed on the terminal in two groups of 32-column rows, each row
corresponding to the possible voting positions on a ballot. The display is coded as follows:
0: blank voting position
1: mark in voting position
?: undefined mark in voting position
The left-hand group of 32 column rows represents the idler side of the ballot reader and the right-
hand 32 columns represent the driver side of the ballot.
is displayed on the AccuVote-OS as the results of each ballot card are transmitted to the terminal.
5.1.20. Recirculating ballots
It is recommended that you perform the Reader Diagnostics Test using ballot recirculation, since
it is not necessary to use more than one marked Diagnostic ballot in order to test the ballot
reader’s sensors. The ballot may be also easily retrieved from the ballot reader instead of being
removed from the ballot box if the AccuVote-OS is installed in the ballot box.
