To execute the program once it's installed, click on TComWP.exe or its shortcut. A shortcut is installed in the Start Menu Programs folder.
If the TCU is not connected and powered (key off) when T-Com™ WP is executed for the first time, T-Com™ WP will be in a 'demo' mode. In the 'demo' mode, all file-save functions and some communications features will be disabled. T-Com™ WP will remain in 'demo' mode until such time as a TCU is connected and successful communication is established.
If T-Com™ WP is executed after the
TCU is powered up (key on) and connected (by the communication cable), communication will
be attempted. You can also press the 
key to cause T-Com™ WP to attempt communication with the TCU. Once successful
communication has been established, T-Com™ WP will record the serial number to
its configuration and become fully functional both On-line and Off-line. Further
uses of T-Com™ WP will be fully functional as well.
Calibration files can be loaded or saved in one of two ways. In offline mode, a calibration file can be loaded into your PC's memory so that you can make changes offline and save them to disk. In online mode, you will be sending calibration information directly to the TCU.
To load a file:
From the pull down menu, select File/Read All
Tables. (The hot key for this operation is 
.)
Select a calibration file to load. You may either double click the file or click the file once to highlight it and then click Open.
When you are in offline mode, once the file is loaded, you may make any changes you wish and save the changes to disk. Once the changes have been made, the file can be programmed into the TCU when you are in online mode.
When you select a file to load in online mode, you should see a progress bar at the bottom of the screen. When the bar fills up, the new calibration file has been loaded into the TCU. The information you are viewing in the tables in online mode is what is actually programmed into the TCU. Any changes you make to any tables or fields are immediately programmed into the TCU.
To save a file:
From the pull down menu, select File/Read All
Tables. (The hot key for this operation is 
.)
Enter a name to save the file under and press enter. The calibration file name you select will automatically be given a .TCT file extension.
