To modify the CONFIG.SYS file, the following entries must be in the CONFIG.SYS file to execute the DataView
program:
i. DEVICE = \DOS\HIMEM.SYS
ii. DEVICE = \DOS\EMM386.EXE X=C800--CFFF I=DOOO--DFFF V
iii. DEVICE = \DOS\POWER.EXE
iv. DEVICE = \DOS\INTERLINK.EXE
v. DOS = HIGH, UMB
vi. FILES = 40
vii. BUFFERS = 30
The other entries should have “REM” entered before each entry. This will retain the information i n the file, but the
entry will not be executed. For example; t he entry, “DEVICE = \PCM\DPMS.EXE” should be changed to “REM
DEVICE = \PCM\DPMS.EXE.”
Running The Program At The MS--DOS Prompt
This section describes the procedure for executing t he program from the MS--DOS prompt.
1. Reboot the computer into the MS-DOS mode. DO NOT start windows, this will reduce the amount of memory
available for the Data View program.
2. Change directory to the DataView directory by typing: CD \DATAVIEW <ENTER> or CD \SCROLLDV
<ENTER>
3. At the MS --DOS prompt type: DATAVIEW <ENTER> to run the program.
Changing Program Behavior
This section describes the two methods to change the behavior of the DataView program.
1) Start the DataView program and go to the Program Setup screen. From this screen the user can set up t he program
to run on their computer.
2) To add control parameters to the DataView main program, start at the MS--DOS prompt and type “directory -- “pa-
rameter” <ENTER> where “directory” is the resident directory (DATAVIEW, SCROLLDV or other directory des-
ignation), then space dash and “parameter” is the parameter you want to change.
The following are valid parameters:
1. To set the temperature units to Celsius, type: “DIRECTORY” --TC <ENTER>.
2. To set the temperature units to Fahrenheit, type: “DIRECTORY” --TF <ENTER>.
3. To convert the RAW files to DCX files, type: “DIRECTORY” --CONVERT <ENTER>.
4. To run on monochrome monitors (i.e., HP Palmtop), t ype: “DIRECTORY” --P <ENTER>.
5. To run on color monitors, t ype: “DIRECTORY” --D <ENTER>.
6. To set the communications port (i.e., port where the Carrier module i s connected), type: “DIRECTORY” --COM1
<ENTER> or “DIRECTORY” --COM2 <ENTER>
The above options can be combined. For instance, type: DATAVIEW -- TF --D <ENTER> would set the reciprocating
software program to run with Fahrenheit temperature units and a color monitor.
TOPIC 3 MENU BASICS
This section describes how to use the DOS DataView interrogator menu system.
Nearly the entire DataView Program can be run with these keystrokes:
1. RIGHT and LEFT Arrow keys move through the boxes on the screen.
2. UP and DOWN Arrow keys move vertically within a menu box.
3. ENTER selects an option.
4. ESC cancels the current screen and m oves back to the previous screen.
5. H displays the help screen.
6. ALT--X exits the program and returns to the DOS prompt.
7. F9 attempts to reconnect the DataView program to the DataCORDER.
Throughout the program the user will be able to use t he alphanumeric keys to select a feature without using the arrow
keys. Upon pressing an alphanumeric key the selected feature is executed. In addition the user will be able to use t he
mouse to select a feature. Upon single clicking the left mouse button, the feature the pointer is on is executed.
