Not with
the 1.94y ROM with release date 00-11-03.
We had originally been given others of an earlier release date that did
not perform correctly. This can be
done tomorrow. Tyler -----Original
Message----- Has anybody tested the
reverse? I.e., with the Feeder
Sort Disabled. Ian -----Original Message----- At Tari’s request, testing was conducted on the 1.94y
ROM using the Accu-Feeder. Testing
was conducted specifically to test that the feeder stopped for ballots with
write-in votes on them. A memory card was downloaded from a GEMS 1.17.7.5
famous names database (named “famous names 152-2”, EID 02125ef9, with ballot
card 0, hence the classic demo famous names ballot could be used). 1.94y ROMs (release date 00-11-03) were
put into an Accu-Vote (SN 82530).
In supervisor functions, the memory card’s setup parameters were changed
to Auto Feed Method, and the Feeder Sort was Enabled (this is a new option in
this ROM). The test deck consisted of 12 ballots, 6 of which had
write-in votes on them. Each time
a ballot with a write-in vote was fed through the Accu-Vote, the feeder stopped
and the LCD gave a message indicating that a write-in ballot had been fed
through whose vote needed to be recorded.
The write-in ballot was sitting on top of the ballots in the catch tray. The feeder could then be re-started as
normal (by putting un-read ballots back in the front feed tray and pressing the
Yes button). The test was conducted three times with the same
results (including an accurate tabulation of the results). Testing was conducted by Kerry Martin, Steve Ricke,
and Tyler Lincks. Tyler |
