Just passing along the
information from Wyle and Jeff Hintz.
If it makes them happy to see it in the audit log, then we will tell
them it is working to meet requirements. Larry J. Dix Vice President of Operations Global Election Systems -----Original

BallotStation has no idea whether the printer, card reader, serial port, or
touch screen are working. How would it? But we can make the log
say anything you like... Ken ________________________________________________________ -----Original
Message----- Posted on behalf of Jeff Hintz: When turning on the R6 a message needs to be posted to audit log
indicating that the machine has passed diagnostic test. This was reported last week when Jeff
was at Wyle labs, but Tab had requested additional information. Jim Dearman makes reference to 2
sections of the FEC manual as they relate to this. Section 4.8.2.2 “System Readiness Audit Records” and Section
3.2.3.3 “Tests at the Polling Place” Example would be of what should be posted to audit log: Printer test passed Card reader test passed Serial port test Touch Screen Diagnostics passed Identification of device and designated polling location Software release number Larry J.
