Seven steps for effective desktop testing
1. Power the FMS Gateway in the Test Kit using a lab power supply or a 12-volt battery.
2. Connect the FMS Gateway to your AVL device using the CAN and/or RS232 inputs. If using RS232 output, connect the gateway to your computer with an adapter.
3. Set your AVL device to the appropriate CAN mode, which may be labeled as 'CAN Normal mode,' 'CAN Active mode,' or 'CAN R/W mode.'
4. Verify the FMS Gateway’s configuration through the LED status indicators when using CAN output.
5. The pre-installed simulator in the firmware will begin transmitting data every 30 seconds, mimicking real vehicle data.
6. Use the provided simulator manual to easily identify the incoming parameters.
7. For data received via RS232 input or specific non-standard FMS data needs, refer to the protocol help manual included.
By following these steps, you'll successfully capture the necessary data during your desktop testing. Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
