NAME

       x_dialtest - Xview demonstration and test program for SunDials

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/demo/DIALBOX/x_dialtest

DESCRIPTION

       x_dialtest  is  an Xview application that displays a window with eight dials, corresponding to the dials on the SunDials dialbox. To deter-
       mine if the dialbox has been set up correctly, turn a dial on the dialbox. If the dialbox is functional and correctly interfaced, turning a
       dial by hand will make the corresponding dial in the window turn a similar amount.

       The dials do not have any notion of absolute angular position. It is changes in current angular position that are sent to the host applica-
       tion. Thus there is no notion of resetting the position of the dials on the dialbox hardware.

       The Diagnostic button on the panel is a demo mode of the  x_dialtest program. The pointer of each of the dials in the window is rotated one
       full  circle  and  then	disappears in turn.  When all eight dials have been rotated, the display dial pointers are reset to their previous
       rotational positions. The only diagnostic done on the dialbox is a firmware self check. If this self check passes, then "OK."  is  sent	to
       the standard output of the demo program.

       The  Ram Dump button on the panel arranges to place some  firmware data into the file ram_dump.dat in the current directory. It is intended
       for factory diagnostics use and is not publicly documented further.
