How to use WinExplorer
4.6
This
guide displays most of the functions of Winexplorer 4.6. It can be used
for any version from 5.0 and up. It does not cover the standard Winex
features in the toolbar like ATR etc., from the earlier versions. While
every possible screen is not shown, this should give you a very good idea
on how this program works, and how to use it to your best advantage.
This
Version of Winexplorer is similar to the version 4.51 and can have it's
configurations set by a script so that it is not possible for the end
user to make a mistake if this info is included in the script.
When
you bring up Winexplorer 4.6 for the first time, the screen will appear
as follows. 3 windows are visible, Batch File:, Script File:, and the
output window below them.
Since you will seldom,
if ever, use the batch window, we select View from the main menu.
From the View menu,
you select Hide Batch Window:
That
will eliminate the Batch Window from being visible in the program. Note,
above, that there is a feature to Save Window Layout. Selecting this will
save your default view of the program, each time you bring the program
up! Your program will now look like this:
We
shall now look at the menu of the program. Note also that many of the
available program Icons on the bar correspond to the menu options and
are just a shortcut to the most often used ones.
The
Configuration Menu
When you select this
menu, the screen will appear as below:
Selecting Program Parameters,
will bring up the following screen:
Highlighting
and selecting Program Parameters brings up the following screen: This
screen is the default when the program is opened for the first time. It
is set to converse with a P2 card.
When you use the pull
down, below, you can select your com port you will be using with the program.
Highlight and click on the one you want.
When using the quick
settings pulldown, the following selections will appear:
From here we will select
the unlooper feature, necessary for working with P3 card loaders:
The
screen above shows the default unlooper settings for communication of
the program to the unlooper. Moving to the screen, below, we see
the default settings for the advanced menu.
From
the next window, we see the program settings for the Unlooper mode used
by Winexplorer 4.6. To exit this screen, just click on ok. If you made
changes you do not want to keep, click on Cancel.
The
File Menu
When
you bring up the file menu, it looks like this:
From here, you can
open, create, save, print, view the log files, recent files, and even
exit the program. Highlighting the New Function brings up:
You can create a script
from within Winexplorer which you can later save for future use.
The open script function
allows you to open a script you have available.
Clicking
on this selection brings up the screen above. Since we have a script available
in the directory, highlight with a mouse click and click on Open.
After clicking on open,
the script will be loaded into the Script Window as below:
The
Search Menu
After
clicking on the Search menu, the dropdown appears as below. Most of the
functions you will be used to except the Function list. When you click
on this, you get the function box displayed.
The
function box will show all of the functions for the script that is loaded
into the program. This allows quick editing access for any script you
are working on.
The
Output Menu
The Output menu will
allow you to clear the contents of the program output screen or it will
allow you to save it to disk.
The
Favorites Menu
The Favorites menu
selection allows you to Manage you favorite scripts.
The selection of the
Manage Favorites, will bring up the following window. Select the Add Files
selection and you will get the next screen....
The selection of Add
files gives you the screen below.
Moving
into the HU Elcipse1.3 directory will show you the script. Highlight it
with the mouse and it will appear in the filename below the Select files
screen.
The Script will be
added to your favorites in the screen result below: You can add more or
click on close to get out of this screen.
While
we are here, if you execute an unlooper script and you get the message
shown below, the error is that the program is not in communication with
the unlooper. This can be caused by the Atmel not being flashed, RS232
cable not connected or the loader is not powered up.
If
everything is working correctly, the program runs and the menu will appear
as below.

more info on the Eclipse Program, refer to it's guide.
