3.4 WINDIAG DIAGNOSTICS 
Bristol’s WINDIAG Software is a diagnostic tool used for testing ControlWaveLP I/O, CPU 
memory, communications ports, etc., for proper performance. The ControlWaveLP must be 
communicating with a PC equipped with BBI’s WINDIAG program. CPU Board con-
figuration switch SW4-8 must be set to the OFF (Closed) position to enable diagnostics. 
Communication between the ControlWaveLP (with/without application loaded) and the 
PC can be made via a Local or Network Port with the following restrictions: 
•  CPU Board Switch SW4-8 must be OFF (closed) to run the WINDIAG program. Setting 
SW4-8 OFF will prevent the ‘Boot Project’ from running and will place the unit into 
diagnostic mode. 
• Any ControlWaveLP communication port can be connected to the PC provided their 
port speeds match. Most PCs have a COM1 port (typically RS-232 and defaulted to 9600 
bps operation). 
•  Communication port COM1 is only forced to 9600 bps operation when CPU Switches 
SW4-3 and SW4-8 have both been set OFF (closed). COM1 can also be set to 9600 bps 
operation via user defined Soft Switches. 
•  Setting CPU Board Switches SW4-3 and SW4-8 OFF (closed) prevents the ‘Boot Project’ 
from running, places the unit into diagnostic mode and forces communication ports 
COM1 through COM5 to operate at 9600 baud. 
COM1:  From the factory, COM1 defaults to 115.2 kbd (RS-232) using the Internet Point to 
Point Protocol (PPP). Note: ControlWaveLP Port COM1 will be configured for RS-
232 operation (at 9600 baud) by setting CPU Switches SW4-3 and SW4-8 OFF.
