About This Manual

Introduction

SimPoserTM and the

WI-130 WDAC

This manual covers the information you need to install and operate the

SimPoser™software package.

Major sections of this manual are headed by titles in a black bar like Intro-

duction above. Subheadings appear in the left column. Instructions and text

appear on the right side of the page. You will occasionally see notes, tips,

and special instructions in the left column. This information will usually

pertain to text in the opposite column.

SimPoser™software works exclusively with the WI-130 WDAC (Weight

Data Acquisition Controller). The word SimPoser™ comes from two root

words—Simulator and Composer. These two words describe the strengths of

this program. Built into the software is a computer simulation of the WI-130.

SimPoser lets you compose application programs and configuration setups

for the WI-130. You then test an application on the simulator. This makes

quick fixes easy and assures identical function when you download the

program to a WI-130.

Application programming is done in the WT-BASIC computer language.

These application programs and the configuration are saved in a computer file

and can be recalled simply by opening that file. Because of this, you can

design, buy or trade application programs.

Downloading a program to the WI-130 is as easy as clicking a button on the

computer screen. The information you send to the WI-130 is instantly active

and the WI-130 is ready to perform the task you have set it up to do. The

program becomes part of the WI-130’s permanent memory and cannot be lost

due to power failure. If you download a new program to the WI-130, the old

program is replaced with the new program. No chips to change and no long

turnaround times. Each program can take the place of expensive software/

hardware specials. Turnaround times can be measured in hours or days

instead of weeks or months.

Examples of basic application programs are available which can do batching,

checkweighing, inbound/outbound weighing, and other operations. These

programs may require additional changes to meet your exact application

requirements.

1. Once SimPoser is installed, double click the icon with the left mouse

button. A progress bar appears and when it reaches 100% the SimPoser

program is done loading. A license message appears, and upon accept-

ing this toolbar is displayed:

Figure 1

SimPoser's toolbar

The toolbar consists of six commands and six buttons. Some of these

commands are common to all Windows programs and cause a drop down

menu to appear. Some commands access the special features of the

SimPoser program. A quick overview for each command is given below.

Specific instructions appear in the Operations section of this manual. For

help with Windows operations see your Windows documentation.

This drop down menu lets you create, open, save and print files and exit the

program. This menu also contains a list of the last nine files you have

opened. This allows you to click on a file name and open it quickly.

This allows you to select a small version of the toolbar.

This is a navigation aid for accessing the different editing windows.

Click on this command, then COM 1 or COM 2 to download the active

application program to the WI-130.

Click on this command, then Start to bring up the WI-130 simulator on the

computer screen. All the parameters and instructions you have created and

saved will be active and running on the display. This allows you to test your

programs before downloading to the WI-130.

Click on this command or press F1 to find indexed help documentation.

The WI-130 can be sealed for legal for trade use and the software protected from change

by a hardware connection on the main board. If P19 is jumpered, the system is sealed

and programs cannot be downloaded or altered. If P19 is not jumpered the system is not

sealed and programs can be downloaded from the SimPoser software.

The toolbar has six buttons. You select the function you want by clicking on

the appropriate button with the mouse cursor. Below are brief descriptions of

each button's function. Complete instructions are in the next section,

SimPoser Operation.

When you click on this button with your mouse, a tabbed, dialog box appears

containing the customizable features you can set to suit your needs. Below

is a list of items in this dialog box:

• Parameters

• Units

• Key Enable

• Display Values

• Display Modes

• Analog Output

• Bargraph

The Program button opens a WT-BASIC text editing window. Use this window

to create application programs using the WT-BASIC computer language. In

these programs you can configure the system to run a batching program,

setup a checkweighing function, design special graphics for use on the

display, and much more.

Click on this button to see a screen for setting up print formats. Design your

custom format, choose the format # (from 1 to 16) and save it by clicking on

the Save button. Any or all of these formats can be recalled in the program

you create in the Program window. For example, you might use this feature

for IN and OUT tickets for truck loading/unloading situations, spreadsheet

reports for managers, or ISO documentation.

Click on this button to bring up a dialog box for configuring setpoints.

Click on this button to bring up the WI-130 simulator on the computer. This

does the same thing as the Simulate command described earlier.

Click on this button to exit the SimPoser program.

SimPoser Operation

File

If the SimPoser software

freezes up or crashes while you

are working on an application

program, you may be able to

recover it even if you have not

saved it using the SAVE

command. If you have

perfromed a download or

simulation, the SimPoser

program creates a temporary

copy of the application in

C:\SIMPOSER\SIM\TEMPCFG.CFG.

To recover the program, open

this file in SimPoser and do a

FILE,SAVE AS,{filename} and

use the file name you want for

your application program.

Helpful Hints:

1. SAVE often!

2. Do not have any other

Windows®programs running.

3. SAVE often!

This manual assumes that you

know the basic WindowsTM

procedures. If not, see your

WindowsTM documentation.
