Wintotal v4.9.00


Wintotal Overview

The WinTotal software is a label management program. It is a powerful package that makeswire marker printing simple in an industrial environment.

WinTotal is designed to print Tyco Electronics identification products. System Six/Critchley,System 90 and System 2000 product lines are pre-loaded to fac ilitate marker design.

The fields on WinTotals standard products can be modified, creating customized userproducts. Entirely new products also can be added to the software.

WinTotal features a highly graphic al user interface to simplify operator training and minimizeerrors. All functions can be easily accessed using Windows' pull-down m enus. Many of thecommonly used functions can also be accessed with on-screen buttons.

The Windows environment gives access to a huge array of font options, inc luding non-Englishfonts such as Chinese, Japanese and Hebrew (when used with appropriate operating system sor add-on software).

The software will read files created in Raychem's DOS software, TMS TOTAL, without the needfor any conversion or import process. WinTotal's import function will easily convert mostASCII text files, inc luding LabelCraft files and Excel. WinTotal allows simple importing andmanipulation of graphics, logos and barcodes.

WinTotal will print Raychem TMS System Six/Critchley, System 90 and System 2000 productson all Tyco recommended printers. It also allows the use of standard Windows drivers. Markquality and permanence can not be guaranteed when non-Tyco tested printers and ribbonsare used.

Running behind the simple WinTotal user interface is LabelCraft, a powerful label- makingpackage. The software can be used to design and print general labelling applications suc h asrating plates and shipping labels.

WARNING: Make a backup copy of all data files. Backup copies of data should be maderegularly. It is especially important to make a duplicate copy of existing data beforemanipulating that data in a new software package.

WinTotal user data is contained in multiple files. The SET name assigned in WinTotal will bethe file name for all of the files. The file extensions will be .SET, .IND, .001, .002 .00n(where n is the number of products in the set).

SaveThis option will save the settings used as a default. There are three independant settings. One for ASCII, one for Comms XMT and one for Windows Database


ASCII Import

Selecting the ASCII Text (A) file format the following options are available

One field per lineMarkers with more than one field (multiple lines or scores) can be separated on different linesusing this option. It may be necessary to also use the Field Separator depending on the filetype.

Skip first lineThis option does not import the first line of a text file. This is useful if the input file containsheader information not required to print .

Import Down AcrossScored markers are read by default from left to right one line at a time or one score at a timefrom top to bottom. This option changes this to left top to bottom then right top to bottom

Ignore Line BreaksThis option ignores all delimiters and line breaks and imports the file as a single list.

Field SeparatorThis allows selection of standard field separator which identify different fields in the input file.


There is also an option to select a custom field separator by selecting User Defined andtyping in the required separator.

Quantity Field NoThis option specifies which field in the input file is used for spec ifying the number for the Qtyfield.

Physical Lines pr logicalThis allows the user to create a product with for example 3 lines but only import data on thefirst 2, leaving the last line empty for manual editing.

ASCII File OptionsThe fields within the simple ASCII format can be in a column, separated by carriage returnand line feed. Or a field separator can be specified (suc h as a comma or semi-colon), withthe data for each marker on a single line with a comma (for example) between each text field

Pre-scored entries are read in separate fields, filled in from left to right, one line at a tim e orfrom top to bottom.

Example 1 To create a set with 2 scores (3 fields across) and 2 lines. This exam ple is using the standardTMS import method (From left to right), with the xxx's representing the sc ores and the As,Bs, Cs etc. representing marker data.

AAAABBBBCCCCDDDDEEEEFFFF

The following (two line) marker, is the result of importing the above data the standardmethod (From left to right), with the Import Down Across box un-checked.

Line 1- AAAA xxx BBBB xxx CCCCLine 2 - DDDD xxx EEEE xxx FFFF

Note that the Export function works in the same sequence.

The example above would look different with the Import Down Across option enabled

Line 1- AAAA xxx CCCC xxx EEEELine 2 - BBBB xxx DDDD xxx FFFF

Example 2

To create a set with 2 lines of data per m arker and 4 separate markers, the import file wouldlook something like the file below and One field per line option would be checked.

ABC-123XLS-ABC-MNNNA234813XLC-NA2-MNNNTR-5829XLC-NTR-MNN


AXX3/723XLC-AXX-MNN

Example 3

To create a set with 2 lines of data per m arker and 4 separate markers, the import file wouldlook something like the file below. Also the data field separator would be spec ified as acomma, and the first line of header information will be skipped by checking Skip first line.

FILE: ABC123 SCE 3/8 MARKER YELLOW 2 LINES ABC-123 , XLS-ABC-MNN NA234813 , XLC-NA2-MNN NTR-5829 , XLC-NTR-MNN AXX3/723 , XLC-AXX-MNN

The same output file will be c reated by example #2 and #3 using different formats andselections.


COMMS (XMT) Import

Comms (XMT) files are fully specified input files. They c ontain Set Name, Set Description,Product, Font and Data and Quantities. This allows the user to im port the correct datawithout mistakes.

There are however some options allowing the user to override the XMT file.

Value of font in XMT file given is physical CPI This makes the font code value the CPI value

Use this font This option overrides the XMT file specified font with a chosen font.

Horizontal AlignThis option allows the text to be horizntally aligned to Left, Center or Right.

Vertical AlignThis option allows the text to be vertically aligned to Top, Center or Bottom

BoldArial and Courier New fonts are available with a bold option whic h gives a darker mark when


printed. This is recommended for most applications.

Underline 6 and 9Arial and Courier New fonts are available to underline 6's and 9's. ie 6 and 9 this allows thecorrect orientation of the character to be determ ined.


Import into productsThis allows the user to select another product than the one in the XMT file.

User ProductThis allows the user to select a User Defined Product.

COMMS (XMT) Files OptionsComms or XMT files can be created to import data, product, font, colour, quantities andfilename to be created in a set automatically.

One file can be created to create one set with up to 100 different products in. The set name to be created is generated from the XMT file name. There are 6 or 7 recordtypes in each of these files.

System Id. Record This is the first line in the file. It must contain TMS90 in positions 1- 5.

File Header Record This is the second line and must contain a 9 in position 1. Positions 2-101 contain the setdescription field, if required

Product RecordThis is the third line and must contain an 8 in position 1 for a Standard produc ts or 4 for a User Defined LayoutPosition 2-21 should contain the product desc ription. See List Standard Products for productcodesPosition 22 should contain the COMMS (XMT) Color Codes Position 23-24 should contain the COMMS (XMT) Printer Embedded Font Codes or the COMMS(XMT) True Type Font CodesPosition 25 should contain an S or D to indicate whether there are entries for one (single) orboth (double) sides of the markers. Positions 26 onwards are only for continuous products used to specify their length. These c anbe set in mm or inches. M is used to identify mm and I is used to identify inches. MM valuesare in to 1 decimal place and Inch values are to 2 dec imal places. Examples 3 shows alloptions for continuous products.

Legend Header RecordPosition 1 must contain a 7 Positions 2-5 contain a 4-digit quantity (valid range 0001-9999) indic ating the number oftimes the following marker data is to be printed for each time the entire list is printed. Therecan be a maximum of 999 Legend Header Recs. for each Product Record.

Legend Data Record


Position 1 must contain a 6. The legend data for a single line or pre-scored section starts atposition 2. The first record in each group, which makes up one complete marker, must followa Legend Header Rec.

Reverse Side Legend Data Record This is the reverse side of the marker (this is only required if D is selected in Product record)and must contain a 0 in position 1. They must come after the front Legend Data Rec ords fora single marker. There must be the same number of front and back records.

End-of-file Record This signifies the last record in the file and must contain a 5 in position 1.

Data Conversion


Data Conversion OverviewThere are various conversion programs available in this sec tion. Some are for custombusinesses.

The main conversion program for general use is the Wintotal Internal c onverversion program.


Wintotal Internal

This conversion program allows global conversion of COMMS (XMT) Import files, Total andWintotal files.

This option is accessed from the File...Data Conversion menu. Selecting Wintotal Internalwill start the program.

Jim Smith

The main screen shows the following options


Input File TypesThis option opens up the Cross Reference List options for XMT and Wintotal conversions.

FromThis specifies the source data. There are currently two options:

XMT - for globally importing COMMS (XMT) files Wintotal/Total - for converting Total or Wintotal Files

ToThis option specifies the output file type. There are currently two options:

XMT - for globally importing COMMS (XMT) files Wintotal - for Wintotal Files

Import unmatched productsThis option copies any source file not specified with a destination product in the CrossReference List as its original format.


Source DirectoryThis window specifies the source directory for selecting files

Existing FilesThis window shows any files in the current Source Directory It will only show files basedupon the settings in the From selection.

Destination DirectoryThis window shows the destination directory where any converted sets will be plac ed

Destination FilesThis shows any existing Wintotal sets that are in the currently selected Destination Directory

Convert All FilesThis option will convert all files in the Source Directory to the Destination Directory

Convert Selected FilesThis option will convert any selected files in the Source Directory to the Destination Directory

ExitThis will exit the conversion program and return to Wintotal


Cross Reference List

The Cross Reference List is used to specify source and destination products. There are crossreference lists for both XMT and Total/Wintotal conversions

Once this screen appears a list of all source products in the Source Directory will be availablein the drop down box.

This list can be refined by selecting the Refine Selection

Refine SelectionThis option allows you to group parts of the selection process for the Source Products


These options will group the following and replace them with asterix's * in the SourceProduct drop down box.

Ignore text alignmentIgnore font descriptionIgnore ColorIgnore Double SidedIgnore LinesIgnore SizeIgnore Derivatives

This allows simple creation of product groups rather than specifying eac h indivdual product.

Target Product For Selected SourceThis allows the user to specify the target product for the currently selected source product. The following screen is then displayed allowing the user to specify its target product.

The screen has the same options as in the Add Product screen but has the addition of a


Printer field.

If the printer is changing this option should be changed first to show the correct productoptions (like fonts) for that printer

The target product can then be built up in the same way as creating a product in the AddProduct screen.

Any parameter that is required to stay the same should be selected with ****. No of lines inthe screenshot above.

Greyed out tick boxes will also leave those parameters as the source product.

Once specified the source product is removed from the Source Product list and added to the Cross Reference section along with its destination.

This process should be repeated until all products that require c onverting in the SourceDirectory are in the Cross Reference table. Any products without a Cross Reference willnot convert unless the Import Unmatched Products option is enabled. In this case theproducts will be copied the same as the source.

Show DetailsThis option shows more details in the Cross Reference table.

ChangeThis option allows the user to change a Cross Reference already created by selecting it andthen pressing the Change button.

DeleteThis option allows the user to delete a selected Cross Reference

Delete AllThis option will delete all Cross Reference


Export

This function takes data from an existing WinTotal set and creates a text file out of it.

This feature allows users to convert their sets into simple ASCII files. This will allow the datato be imported into other software programs. Options are available to add a file header andseparate fields on a marker with a delimiter (such as a c omma) or output them in a columnwith one field on each line.

The output file name defaults to the set name with the extension TXT. The default locationwill be the current Directories. Both the name and the location can be changed.

An optional Header Information on line 1 will be sent as the file header. The export programplaces the product name and number of lines per marker in the header field. This record fieldcan be changed or deleted.

The sequence in which multiple fields are exported is the same as in the sequence of importedfields. Pre-scored marker fields are read in the following sequence: From left to right, oneline at a time. For example, in a marker with 2 scores (3 fields across) and 2 lines such asthe following (with the xx's being the scores)

AAAA xx BBBB xx CCCCDDDD xx EEEE xx FFFFF

The fields would be output in the following order:AAAABBBBCCCC


DDDDEEEEFFFFF


Log OffThis option is enabled only if Passwords have been created for logging on to Wintotal. Itallows the user to log off their current password level without Exiting the program completely.


ExitEnding the operation of the WinTotal program can be done in four ways:

1. Selecting the File Exit option.2. Selecting the "Quit" button at the bottom right corner of the main screen.

3. Selecting the "X" close option at the top right corner of the main screen.

4. Selecting the END key on your keyboard.

A final question/warning "QUIT WINTOTAL" will be displayed to confirm that the user wantsto exit the program. This warning can be turned off from Confirm Program Quit

NOTE: pressing the END key will always display this warning.

Printable areaThe label height and printable area are most often the same. During entry of the labelheight, the same value will be automatically placed in the printable area field. The values willbe different if the actual printable area of the label is less than the total label height. Labelswith a long clear wraparound end are examples of products with a printable area smaller than


label height.

No. labels acrossThe number of labels entry is based on the carrier format. The standard sleeves would have ano. labels across value of 1 because they are supplied in a format with one label beneaththe next in a single column. This field is necessary for labels supplied on a wider c arrier withmore than one label across each row (labels are both across and down from each other). Thetotal number of labels across a single row entered in this field.

Horizontal repeatThis value is only necessary if the no. labels across value is greater than one. For labelswith multiple columns, the entry is the sum of the label width and the gap between each labelacross (the measurement from the left edge of one label to the left edge of the labelimmediately to its right). If there is no gap, the horizontal repeat will equal the label width.

Vertical repeatThis value is the sum of the label height and the gap between eac h label in a column (themeasurement from the top edge of one label to the top edge of the label im mediately beneathit). If there is no gap, the vertical repeat will equal the label height.

Continuous MediaThis checkbox is used to disable thermal transfer printer sensors. With it unchecked, theprinters will look for a gap between the labels to automatically detect the top of the nextlabel. This checkbox only effects the operation of therm al transfer printers.

Display carrierThis checkbox makes only a visual change. It has no effect on the printing. It is c hecked inorder to display dot matrix labels more accurately. The Data Entry and Print Preview displayswill show a carrier with pin feed holes attached to the labels.

No. of rows per page The number of rows of labels on a single sheet needs to be entered to accurately print thelabels. Labels not separated on individual sheets should have a value of one in this field (if itis displayed).

Text RotationThis drop down box allows text rotation of 0, 90, 180, 270

Product can print onThis list box will automatically select the default Wintotal printer. This will c hange for userswith more than one type of printer. Some products are designed to print only on dot m atrixprinters (normally supplied with a pin feed hole c arrier) or only on thermal transfer printers(normally supplied with gaps or notches between products). The printer(s) selec ted must beincluded in System Setup for the labels to be listed during Add Product / Change Productproducts.
