First thing I do is to configure the RS232 from the drop down menu in the program. It works fine, since i don't see an error then a window pops up which is the "Start-Up Tests", here are the instructions from the procedure to follow.
5.4 Start-up tests
1. Select “Yes” on startup tests window (Figure 4).
2. Enable present system boards then click “Start” to run the tests (Figure 5).
3. All buttons should be “GREEN” (Figure 6). Record the Start-up tests status for
Tables 1-3 in Appendix A. Then click “Close” to exit the Start-up test window.
4. If a button is “RED” (see Figure 7 for
Receiver board problem example), stop
the test. Start board troubleshooting until the problem is solved. Repeat the
Start-up tests steps 1-3.
After basically box turns green the pop-up window has a close button, that closes the window. Now we are back to main program screen. we choose what board to communicate with, we select the AA (Acc. & Aux board) this a chooseable or scroll menu and then on the side we have click the RB box and PS box whcih turns it to OFF and leave AA box to ON and and DHRF (this the control board that is communicating with our UUT boards) to ON and from the drop down menu choose Common Tool -> Execute Selftest, then it suppose give us the results on a seperate window called "Selftests Results". When I choose the Execute Selftest , this is were I get the timout error and it says to increse the timeout however incresing the timeout from the RS232 configuration window does not solve the issue. I will appreciate if some one point me to where the problem may be. Thanks
