3.1 Requirements of the Computer to run the Graphic Interface Software
To run the SAUER-SUNDSTRAND WinGPI a standard personal computer (PC) or

laptop/notebook is required with a serial interface (RS232 interface). The WinGPI program runs
under W95/WinNT or better. To use the program, you need the following things:
- 80386 or higher
- 2 MB free hard disk space
- 16 MB or more of RAM.
NOTICE: For more information, take a look in the WinGPI help.
3.2 RS232 Hardware Interface Cable
The communication interface cable between the computer and the Digital Controller is a RS232
cable. Only the RxD, TxD and GND signals are needed.
PIN 2: TxD
PIN 3: RxD PIN 2: TxD
PIN 5: GND PIN 3: RxD
PIN 5: GND
NOTICE: It is only allowed to connect RxD, TxD and GND. With a standard RS232
cable you can damage your computer under certain conditions.

4. Installing the WinGPI Software
NOTICE: Insert the program disk into the cdrom-drive (usually drive ‘D:’) of your
computer.
4.1 Installing the Field Service Software
Before attempting to use the JCB Hydrostatic Loadall Diagnostics, Windows 95/Windows NT
should be installed on your PC.
• The JCB Hydrostatic Loadall Diagnostics software setup procedure will start
automatically when inserting the program compact disk into your cdrom drive.
• Follow the on-screen prompts to install the software!
If the ‘autorun’ install procedure was interrupted or wasn’t started at all, please proceed according
to the instructions below:
• On the ‘Start’ menu select ‘Run ...’
• Type ‘D:\wingpi\setup.exe’ in the ‘Open:’ text box
• Press ‘Return’ (↵) or click ‘OK’
• Follow the on-screen prompts to install the software
4.2 Using the Field Service Software
The JCB Hydrostatic Loadall Diagnostics software uses a standard Windows 95 menu system
the includes shortcut keys for quick access to all menu options.
After successful installation procedure you will find in your ‘Start’ menu the shortcut to the service
files for both the ‘532H-537H Low Emissions 102Hp Engine’ and the ‘532H-537H Std Emissions
106Hp Engine’ in your program files directory, e.g:
‘Start’ ⇒ ‘Program files’ ⇒ ‘JCB Hydrostatic Loadall Diagnostics’
The entire software update functionality will operate automatically. The service technician will be
informed and - if necessary - instructed by dialog boxes.

2. Connect the computer to the Digital Controller with the RS232 interface cable.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Start WinGPI (see figure 1).
You have to select the program entry which corresponds to the machine on which he
wants to do the service.
5. After both installation procedures (service tool incl. service pack, development pack) the
start menu entries in the program files folder are shown as followed:
6. The WinGPI will automatically start the corresponding TCF-file.

For some seconds the current software version number and the „start screen“ with the
Customer logo appears.
Figure 1: Customer logo
7. Turn on ignition to give power to the Digital System.

The first screen appears.
GPI 516289 7
6. The Windows
The screen of the WinGPI is divided in one text window and in graphic windows.
6.1 The Text Window
The text window takes the upper 2/3 part of the screen. In this area the GPI displays alphanumeric
data.
6.2 The Graphic Windows
On the lower 1/3 of the screen the GPI displays up to 3 graphic windows. There are two kinds of
windows: Analog windows that show a simple analog instrument and XY windows that show a XY
plotter.
8 GPI 516289
7. Operating the WinGPI
Independent of the application the following functions can be used:
NOTICE: For more information, take a look in the WinGPI help.
7.1 Zooming the Graphic Windows
With the standard windows functions (keyboard and mouse), you are able to zoom the graphic
windows.
7.2 Exit the WinGPI
You can quit the WinGPI over the menu File Exit.
NOTICE: Do not interrupt WinGPI during setup or parameter change.
8. Auto-Update Feature
After switching on the Digital Controller, a connected WinGPI will automatically check if an
application software update is necessary.
The update will be done:
• if the digital controller application does not provide the auto-update feature
• if the digital controller application which provides the auto-update feature recognises that
the systems do not match each other
• if the version inside the service pack on the PC is newer than the version of the
application inside the digital controller and both Systems match together.
The update will not be done with applications which provide the auto-update feature:
• if the version inside the service packs on the PC is less than or equal to the version of
the application inside the digital controller
The WinGPI will inform the user about the update. If any action from the user is requested
(switching Digital Controller on and off again), he will be asked to do this by the WinGPI.
CAUTION:
Due to the fact that the auto-update feature will update all applications which does not
provide this feature it is possible to overwrite a different application with this NFPE
application. If this happens, the vehicle would not be driveable any longer !!!

9. WinGPI Setup Mode Introduction
If the WinGPI is running and the Digital System is started as described above the Digital System
enters a running mode. The inch pedal setup menu is the only menu where parameters can be
changed (Setup Mode). You can access the brake pressure sensor calibration when pressing
on the run screen.
NOTICE:
The inch setup menu is only accessible when the system is in STOP mode and the inch
pedal is not entirely depressed (security reason!).
9.1 Inch Pedal Setup Menu
This menu will be shown if you select in the Customized Run Screen.
• With this menu the parameters of the inch pedal can be set. You have to follow the
status lines shown on the screen.
16 GPI 516289
Example:
• "Depress the brake pedal to required maximum inching (no drive) position and
then press <RETURN>:"
Set the inch/brake pedal to the mechanical startpoint. After pushing the new
parameter of the sensor will be shown behind the old value and stored internal.
• "Release the brake pedal, wait 5 seconds and then press <RETURN>:"
Release the inch/brake pedal. After pushing the new parameter of the sensor will
be shown behind the old value and stored internal.
• UNSUCCESSFUL Calibration
If the calibration was unsuccessful, a setup error will be detected during setup.
If the range between minimum and maximum value is too small, the new values will be
ignored and a new setup should be done by entering and .
If the minimum value is greater than the maximum value, the new values will be ignored
and a new setup should be done by entering and .
CAUTION:
On every new machine you have to make the inch pedal setup also when the status line:
"Verify of the old Parameter O.K." appears, because the digital system is filled with test
parameter. If this is not done the software will work with wrong parameter, which causes
unexpected or dangerous driving behavior.
GPI 516289 17
