7.2.1 INSTALLATION
Insert the Installation Disk in drive A of the Host PC, and at the DOS prompt, enter the
following:
A: <enter>
INSTALL <enter>
The Host Software installation process will then begin. During installation, the Host
Software is copied on to the Hard Disk, to a directory named \HOST.
INSTALLING THE SECURITY KEY
Before the Host Software can be used, the security key must be fitted. Insert the security
key into the parallel printer port LPT1 of the Host PC. If you have a printer, connect
this to the back of the security key. The security key is completely transparent to normal
printer operation.
CONFIGURING THE HOST SOFTWARE
Before the Host Software can be used, the serial number of the Controller must first be
written in a configuration file called HOST.CFG.
Use a standard text editor (such as EDIT supplied with DOS 5.0/6.0) to create and edit
the HOST.CFG file in the C:\HOST directory on the Host PC. Enter the serial number
of the Format Controller on a single line of the file. The serial number must be that of
the CONTROLLER. This number must be entered literally, taking note of the case of
the characters. Include SN. (eg, SN2-94001234)
SETTING UP OFF-LINE CHAMBER INTELLIGENCE
Before installing the Host Software, it is recommended that two files from the Controller
System disk are first copied to the Host Directory. This enables the Host system to use
their information without having to interrogate the controller each time.
The following files should be copied from the root directory of the Format 550 System
Disk to the HOST directory of the Host PC
- LEARN.CFG
- DIG_CHAN.CFG
If you are unsure about this, please contact SANYO Gallenkamp PLC Service Dept.
Once installed on the PC, the Host Software has two modes of operation:
On-line Mode (connected via RS232 port to Format 550 controller)
Off-line mode (Host Software in stand-alone mode)
7.2.2 STARTING THE SOFTWARE
To run the Host Software, ensure that the security key is fitted and the enter the following
at the DOS prompt:
CD\HQST <enter>
