Version History
Version 2.4a
• Supports Windows 7 & 10 when connected to a USB Interface E84 Emulator that has been
updated for Windows 10 compatibility.
• Added Active Mode Manual Step Control Screen.
• Added PDF report generation.
Version 2.3
• Previous version would issue a system error if communications with the USB Emulator were
interrupted. This version captures that error condition, displays an error message, and provides a
retry option to the operator.
• The working directory is now displayed on the Main Menu. The Load Port Number entered during
Active Mode Test Setup is now displayed on the Active Mode Test screens. These two changes
help in distinguishing which Application instance is controlling each USB Emulator.
Version 2.2a
• Modifications to allow multiple instances of the Application to be running on the same PC at the
same time. Multiple USB E84 Emulators can be controlled on the same PC by running multiple
instances of the Application.
Version 2.2
• The ES signal is now monitored during all Active Mode tests. Previous versions did not monitor
the ES signal during timeout and port sensor tests. This falsely passed load ports that dropped
ES along with HO_AVBL on timeout errors. This change properly implements testing the ES
signal as defined in section A1-4.5 of the E84 standard.
• HO_AVBL is now checked following completion of timeout tests (in Active Mode). The software
asks the operator to pass / fail the test based on the load ports display of the timeout error on its
GUI. When the operator passes the test, the Emulator now checks the HO_AVBL signal to make
sure it has turned OFF. The load port should turn HO_AVBL OFF with the timeout error. If the
load port properly displays the timeout message, but fails to drop HO_AVBL, the test is failed.
• An online help system has been added, giving additional details on the use of the E84 Emulator,
along with detailed test suite information.
Version 2.1.1
• The Active Mode E-Stop test reported false failures on certain LoadPorts. The 500 mSecond
debounce window incorrectly monitored the L_REQ signal. All signals are now allowed to
fluctuate during the 500 mSecond window.
• A fix was added to correct for a database lock-up condition reported by some users.
• Interbay signals are now supported in Manual Mode Testing.
Additional version history details can be found in the online help system.
