WinTrac™ 5.X

Chapter 9Advanced WinTrac FeaturesUsing Service Modification feature on Thermo King UnitsUnits based on Thermo Kings Global Data Table (DAS, HMI, i-Box, SR-2/SR-33 etc.) can be directlyconfigured from WinTrac using the Service Modification facility. Use of the Service Modification feature mayalter the operation of the Thermo King refrigeration unit. We recommend this feature be used by trained TKService Personnel only.A .CSV format file containing the desired settings can be uploaded into the unit. To accomplish this, select the"Service Modification..." option from the "Tools" menu in WinTrac. The "Tools" menu item is a securefunction. If you need to perform a modification and do not have the "Tools" menu option showing, please readthe Section entitled “Accessing the Tools menu in WinTrac 5”. WinTrac will ask you for the name of themodification file you wish to send to the unit. Once the file is selected, WinTrac checks the connections to theunit and if they are valid will send the modification data to the unit and check the changes were accepted.Using pass-through mode on DASWinTrac 5 contains a feature called "Pass-through" for DAS devices with the MP-VI controller. The passthroughfeature allows you to access the attached controller as if WinTrac was connected directly to thecontroller. Using pass-through mode, you can perform all the usual WinTrac tasks such as down-loading thecontroller data logger, flash-loading the controller, send or retrieve OptiSet configuration data, etc. Access tothe pass-through features is from the Tools menu. In order to enter pass-through mode, you must beconnected to a DAS with an attached controller.NOTE: The unit must be switched "ON".Select "Enter pass-through mode..." from the "Tools" menu. WinTrac will set-up pass-through mode andconfirm when pass-through is complete. You can then communicate directly with the attached controller andperform any of the normal WinTrac functions on the controller.When you are finished, you should always exit pass-through mode by selecting "Exit pass-through mode" fromthe "Tools" menu.NOTE: If you do not EXIT pass-through mode properly, the DAS and controller will eventually time out frompass-through after 15 minutes and reset, however, all communications are suspended during this 15 minutetime out period and data may be lost. Proper EXIT of the pass-through mode allows normal DAS/controllercommunications to resume immediately.84
