Huntron ProTrack I + Scanner

[jvthorsley]

Hi Curtis and Cyberg3n
Fired up my old PC with Windows XP and both Workstation 3.5.4. & 4.2 installed and searched for the file LCSPRO.TXT.
Can't find it.
Cyberg3n when you finish running LOOP CAL does it mention a file name?
If so I can search for that.
I guess if pushed I could connect this PC to my ProTrack through the printer / Centronics cable and run LOOP CALC myself to see what happens.

I remember when I ran loop Cal for my protrack I had a hard time only because I did not know the process.
Are you sure loop Calc ran all the way through.
Once the tests finish and protrack passes all the tests.
Only once all tests are passed the software goes through another process on its own. At the end it write to the protrack. Then it asks to go to hardware setup and select OK.

Files I created manually. Then I did the Loop calculation. It works smoothly now. Thank you very much for your interest.

Now I need a user manual for protrack I and Scanner I. The novelty of the device turned out to be too complicated for me. It would be useful to read a user manual.
You will also need a user guide for Workstation 3.5.4.

Hi
Get the Product Manuals Disc from Huntron.
I have Version 3.0 that has the manauls for Workstation 3.5.4. and the ProTrack 10 / 20.
As Curtis Tech Support he should be able to help with that.

The Product manuals CD Part Number: 06-5217
You would need to order through your local distributor.

You may find some of the videos on the Huntron YouTube channel to be useful. There are none using ProTracks but the method still applies.

You can learn to drive a car to pass the test, but once you throw away the L plates practice makes perfect and you deal with situations without a thought.
The same goes with a ProTrack + Scanner just get a bunch of Capacitors, Resistors, Diodes & Zener Didoes and play.
Experiment with SCR's and Triacs switching them on and off with the Pulse Generator.
Fault finding won't be so easing on circuit boards with lots of microprocessor & memory chips.
Try some power supply circuit boards but make sure all the capacitors discharged first.
A circuit with old style TTL IC's  (7400 series), transistors and capacitor, & resistors on board is a good start.
But note with IC's different manufactures will give similar but different results.
Connect the COM to the ground / NEG or 5 Volt lines.
Get two circuit boards exactly the same, then short anything on the solder side then turn over and fault find the short circuit using just the ProTrack & Scanner. Scan through several pins using Scanner Mode on the ProTrack menu. And you don't need the added complication of Workstation to do that.
