SECTION 5. TECHNICAL DETAILS - SOFTWARE
5.1 README FILE
This file contains the full text of the users
manual for PCPST menu software. It briefly
describes the contents of the Campbell
Scientific PCPST diskette and how to install the
software on a computer. This file may also be
viewed on the computer screen after installing
PCPST by entering "readme" at the DOS
prompt.
5.2 INSTALLATION
5.2.1 WORKING COPY
An example of a DOS command to make a
working copy of the diskette in drive A: follows:
1. Make sure that the distribution diskette is
write protected. Have a blank formatted
diskette labeled "PCPST--working copy"
ready for step 2.
2. Insert the distribution diskette in floppy drive
A: and enter:
diskcopy a: a
Then press "Enter".
3. Follow the directions provided by DOS as it
guides you through the diskcopy procedure.
When this step is completed, you may use
the new working copy of PCPST.
5.3 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
WITHOUT A HARD DISK
5.3.1 DOS PATH
Before beginning PST operations, you must
install PC208 Datalogger Support Software so
that PC208 program files are available to
PCPST. If PC208 was installed previously, you
may want to install PCPST into the same
directory as PC208. If you install them into
separate subdirectories, you should add the
subdirectory containing PC208 to your DOS
PATH. For example, if you installed PC208 in a
subdirectory named PC208 on drive C:, the
following line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
would make PC208 accessible to PCPST:
set path=c:\;c:\dos;c:\pc208
5.3.2 PC208 INSTALLATION
To install the PC208 Software, insert diskette 1
(marked 1 of 3) in a floppy disk drive. After
logging onto the disk drive, type "INSTALL".
