        Use TEST32.EXE for WinNT. TEST32 requires FRYERS32.DLL to be 
        loaded in the Windows directory, or in the directory in which 
        TEST32 is located. TEST32 will also run under Win95. TEST32 will 
        not run under Windows 3.xx.

        The TEST program is provided as a way to test the communications 
        between a Frye Instrument and the PC. To see the available 
        commands enter the command "H" at the command prompt.  

        For more information on the commands available and their use with 
        specific Frye instruments, refer to the TEST32, Fryers and FIPP 
        documents, and the related manual for your instrument which 
        can be found in the RS232 Technical Support package.

        Note that the TEST program is designed for use with all possible 
        modes of operation. Some of the commands listed in the TEST 
        program may not be available on all instruments or in a specific 
        mode on the instrument. On newer instruments, the TEST program 
        may not directly have available all commands that can be 
        performed. The "B"uild command can be used to create a command 
        that is not specifically supported by the test program. Refer to 
        the appendix of the instrument being tested for the list of 
        available commands and modes of operation.

        The TEST program is provided only as a means of testing the 
        operation of the RS232 communications link, no attempt has been 
        made to insure that it will work flawlessly in all situations. In 
        fact, entering other than a numeric value at the prompt will 
        cause the program to terminate with an error.

        Requirements:

        The Test32 program requires an IBM PC or compatible computer running 
        Windows 95 or better. You will also need a serial port on the computer.  

        To run the test program from Win95/98/NT/ME/2K/XP:

        1. Insure that the FRYERS32.DLL driver is located in the Windows 
           directory, or in the same directory where the TEST32.EXE 
           program is located.
        2. From Windows, use the Windows Explorer to find and run the
           TEST32.EXE program. Alternately, you can drag a copy of the 
           TEST32 icon to a folder or the desktop if you want to place it 
           in a location that is easier to find.
        3. If everything is setup properly, a window should appear and 
           you should see the TEST command prompt in it (see above).

        Test32 defaults to using the COM1 serial port. If you are using 
        another COM port, you will need to use the "C" command to 
        select the comport you are using. 

        If you find that the port selected was incorrect, or you don't 
        know for sure which port is in use, either use the FCHECK program 
        to determine the correct COM port, or you can use the "C"omPort
        command to change the selected COM port while TEST is running. 

        Source Code:

        The source code for the TEST program can be found in the 
        TEST.PAK file in the RS232 Technical Support package.

        Note: This program is for testing hearing aid analyzers. To test 
        the operation of an audiometer, see the ATEST program in the RS232
        Technical Support package.
