XaminerPC™
Diagnostic
Tool For IDX Xeptors
|
|
 INTRODUCTION
XaminerPC is a PC based
troubleshooting software tool providing you with a window into
the configuration of your Xeptors. By knowing how your
Xeptors are configured and what they are reading from the coins
you will have the information you need to troubleshoot coin
acceptance problems. You may unexpectedly find that someone has
programmed the Xeptor for the wrong coin set, or that some of
your coins just aren't like the rest of your coins, or that the
Inhibit Logic or Credit Pulse Width are not set the same as for
the machines that are working. XaminerPC gives you all the
information you need to diagnose the real problem and quickly
get to the right solution. As this product evolves, simply click
the Internet Update button to upgrade to the latest version. If
you prefer the hand held Palm or Pocket PC computer
platforms for portability in the field, please see our
Xaminer version of this software.

 Configuration,
security & Health
In the left hand panel,
the utility displays the Xeptor's configuration report
showing the firmware revision, the unit's ID Number, the
detailed coin signature data expected for each coin that it is
programmed to accept, the operational status of the various
diameter, metal alloy, and credit sensors, and feature
configuration information.
In the second panel, the utility displays the
identity and log history of any X-Key
that had been attached. (Note: The
X-Tracker program must also be
installed and actively used for name data to be displayed as
shown.)
The third panel displays the Failure and
Preventative Maintenance codes and deciphers them into plain
English. Other important configuration information is also
displayed, such as whether the Xeptor is Secured or not. |

 Edit
configuration parameters
Providing that the Xeptor is not secured, you may
edit the configuration parameters, including the Inhibit logic,
X-Mark security level logic, various timing parameters, and fine
tune the tolerance for each individual Coin Memory. (Note: Fine
tuning Coin Memory tolerances should not be required if the
sample set of coins that it learned
was a reasonably diverse sample.)
If you move Xeptors from one
brand of machine to another, it may be required that the Inhibit
logic or the Credit/Sense timing be changed to suit the machine. |

 Real time
coin data reporting
Test your coins as you drop them through the
Xeptor and see just exactly what the Xeptor thinks of them.
Without really knowing why coins are being rejected you may be
just wasting time shooting in the dark. You may find that like
Canadian nickels, your coins may all look alike, but different
batches were made from distinctly different alloys, and if you
want to accept both, you need to have both coin signatures in
Coin Memory. Or you may find that the Xeptor is being inhibited
by the machine when you think it should be enabled. Handy
reference information about coin acceptance and rejection are in
the right hand panel. You may also enter standard Xeptor
commands from your keyboard, for example to remind yourself what
coins are programmed into Coin Memory. |
