Description

The Site Master Software Tools program provides the means for transferring the measured
trace, along with any applied markers and/or a limit, to the screen of an MS-DOS based
personal computer (PC) running Windows 95/98/NT.

Requirements

The Site Master Software Tools program is a standard Windows program and will run on
any computer that will run Windows 95/98/NT. Typically, this means having a PC with the
following characteristics:

·

Pentium microprocessor (100 MHz or better, recommended)

·

Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT

·

32 MBytes of memory, minimum

·

Approximately 15 MBytes of available hard drive space

Communication Port Setting

The Site Master Software Tools communicates with the Site Master through a standard
COM port on the PC. It is important that your Windows COM port settings conform to the
actual hardware settings. Since various add-in devices such as sound cards, modems, and
network cards use IRQ (Interrupts), it is possible that your computer has non-standard
COM port settings. Please consult your computer vendor for COM port address and IRQ in-
formation.

manufacturer.
