CableEye can adapt to custom test fixtures or fixtures originally
built for other cable test equipment. By using the optional PinMap™
software (Item 708) from CAMI Research, you may redefine the test
points to match the connector pins on your custom fixtures. This
allows you to use CableEye's connector graphics, database, and
printing capabilities without requiring retooling for your special
connector needs. PinMap is currently available only as a DOS application,
but will be replaced soon with Windows software. In any case,
the file format produced by DOS PinMap works with both the Windows
and DOS versions of CableEye, and the DOS software runs nicely
on any Windows machine. Start
1 +
| - To create
a new MAP table, start PINMAP and specify the name of the MAP
file you wish to edit.

as many different connectors as you wish in a single MAP file,
or as few as one connector for the left and one for the right.
3 +
| - Enter
the pin assignments for the chosen connector.
4 +

you start CableEye, choose "Custom Pinmap" from the
"Connectors" menu, and then select the map you created
from the "Maps" menu.
