The Powermonitor Software is designed to run either from the floppy disk it
comes on, or from a hard disk drive, onto which it can be copied.
If you wish to run the Powermonitor Software from the floppy disk, proceed
to Chapter 4 for instructions on starting and running the Powermonitor
Software.
If you wish to run the Powermonitor Software from the hard drive of your
computer, first perform the following steps to install the Powermonitor
Software onto the hard drive:
1. Create a directory called SP on your hard disk. You may select any drive
to create the directory on (C:, D:, etc.). The following instruction set
creates the directory on the C: drive:
C: <Enter>
MD SP <Enter>
2. Insert the Powermonitor Software program diskette into the A: drive of
your computer and copy the entire contents of the disk into the SP
directory on your hard disk. The following instruction assumes that the
SP directory was created on your C: drive. If this is not the case, replace
C: with the appropriate drive designation.
COPY A:*.* C:\SP <Enter>
3. Check that the SP directory on your hard disk contains the following files:
SP.EXE
SP.EXE is the Powermonitor Software program.
PASSWORD.CFG
Password.CFG is the Powermonitor Software password and setup file.
This file must be present to allow any protected functions to be performed
such as: changes to Powermonitor parameters, or relay control
commands. This file also allows communications setups to be saved.
Chapter 4 describes this in more detail.
The Powermonitor Software has now been installed on your hard disk. Refer
to Chapter 4 for instructions on starting up and using the Powermonitor
Software program.
