BLOWER AS 1741227 - Caterpillar

Installation:
Problem: Installation can only be done to the C: disk drive.
Resolution: A future version of VIMS-PC will eliminate the use of the Common Services System, which currently performs the installation.
Problem: VIMS-PC does nothing when starting the application.
Resolution: Common Services System sometimes creates the path statement after the 'win' command in the autoexec.bat file. This is especially a problem with new installations on Win 3.1. To remedy the problem, edit the autoexec.bat file and move the path statement before the 'win' command.
Problem: File paths over 50 characters long and/or directory names with more than 8 characters will cause problems in several areas of the program.
Resolution: A future version of VIMS-PC will be fully compatible with Windows 95 standards.
Communicate:
Problem: In view real time, the scroll bar does not work consistently.
Resolution: In order to correct the problem of duplicate parameters when scrolling, certain mouse commands were compromised. To use the scroll bar, click on the arrows on the ends of the scroll bar, and avoid clicking on the scroll bar itself. If using the keyboard, use page up/page down and the arrow keys to move the highlight cursor to the desired group. Expand using the space key.
Problem: When downloading data files, the status screen says "no data", but a file is still created.
Resolution: a) With event recorders and data loggers, this is a 6 kbyte file with only a header and it contains no data. This file may be deleted. b) With histograms, this file is a valid data file. The "no data" message occurs because the configuration on the machine does not contain some of the histograms defined in the latest configuration file. The data in the file is valid and may be used as is. One or more of the histograms within that file will contain no data. The problem is resolved by installing the latest configuration file on the machine. Refer to Service Magazine for a list of configuration file part numbers.
Problem: After downloading and resetting the event list, there is an "Event recorder full inactive" still in the list. This occurs if the event recorders are cleared in the same download process. The event list is reset before the event recorder is reset. Resetting the event recorder creates a new event.
Resolution: Download and reset the event recorder first. Then download and reset the event list. A future version of VIMS-PC will address.
Analysis:
Problem: After running and closing a report, the program takes you back to the main menu instead of back to the input criteria dialog of the report just completed.
Resolution: Future version of VIMS-PC will address this.
Problem: When printing a report, the machine model, serial number, and equipment number printed are those of the selected machine, which is not necessarily that of the data file being printed. For example, if you go to "File, Select Machine..." and select a 793B truck, but then open a truck payload file for a 785B truck and print a payload report, the model number, serial number, and equipment number printed on
