Using The Software
4–12
To exit from the Powermonitor Software program and return to DOS, the
operator must use the EXIT TO DOS option on the MAIN MENU screen:
1. Return to the MAIN MENU from any other screen by pressing the <Esc>
key.
2. Position the cursor over the EXIT TO DOS option using the arrow keys,
or by pressing the <Esc> key again.
3. Press the <Enter> key.
The operator will be immediately returned to DOS.
Connection Configuration Save Feature
Immediately prior to the operator being returned to DOS, the Powermonitor
Software will save the last information entered in the CONNECTION screen
(SITE ID, UNIT ID, COMM PORT, etc.) to a disk file.
When the Powermonitor Software is started again later, the previous
connection configuration will be loaded into the CONNECTION screen
automatically. This means the operator will not be required to re–enter data
in the CONNECTION screen fields, if connection to the same remote device
is desired. The operator need only position the cursor on the CONNECT
OPTION field and press <Enter> to reconnect to that device.
Important: The Powermonitor Software saves the connection setup to the
file in the SP disk directory named PASSWORD.CFG, which is the same file
containing the Powermonitor Software password. If this file is missing from
the SP directory, the Powermonitor Software will always display the default
communications options in the CONNECTION screen when the program is
first started.
