Update the serial number and the equipment number or press "OK" in order to accept the values. A validation of the machine serial number and equipment number is performed after the service technician presses "OK" or "Cancel". The user is prompted to change the machine serial number and the equipment number when the numbers are not valid according to the software. Note: Older VIMS machines may have non-printable characters at the end of the machine serial number and equipment number. The non-printable characters may cause the values that are entered by the user to appear acceptable. However, these values may cause problems later. Generally, when a user is prompted to re-enter the machine serial number and the equipment number, the user may delete the previous text. The user may then re-enter the appropriate values.
When the user has changed the machine serial number and the equipment number, the VIMS-PC software will then abort communications with the machine. Refer to the Testing and Adjusting, "Connection Procedure for VIMS-PC to VIMS" section for information regarding this function. Copying A Machine's Configuration
Making a backup copy of a machine configuration can be helpful under the conditions that are listed here:
The service technician is loading new on board software. This erases the current configuration.
The service technician is obtaining a copy of the configuration for use with Information System Builder (ISB). Refer to the "ISB User Guide"for more information. Note: Configurations can NOT be mixed and matched within a machine model in all cases. For example, a given configuration for a 793B may not be compatible with any other 793B. For a list of configuration software that is compatible with a given machine, contact the product support of the appropriate Business Unit. Use the steps that are listed here to copy a machine's configuration:
Connect the 127-9797 Cable Assembly between the data communications port of the machine and the serial communications port of the PC. Each machine usually has two service ports. The port is located in the cab of the machine. An additional port is located outside of the cab.
Turn the key start switch or the VIMS service keyswitch to the ON position if the switch is not already on. The engine does not need to be
