Chapter 2
Installing the Software
2–2
Installation procedures are given for the following types of computers:
•
Systems with 1 Hard and 1 Floppy (or micro) Disk Drive
•
Systems with 2 Floppy (or micro) Disk Drives
•
Systems with 1 Floppy (or micro) Disk Drive
Use the installation procedure for your type of system.
Important: The recommended procedure for off-line programming on a
computer with one hard and one floppy or micro disk is to create a single
sub-directory that will store the DL5.EXE file.
Note: This installation procedure is for an IBM AT. Your computer will use
the same or similar prompts and responses.
1. Make sure DOS is ready and that you are working on the hard disk.
Normally the hard disk is the “C” drive, so the DOS prompt C: \ > is
displayed.
Note: Your DOS prompt could be different. See your computer’s DOS
manual.
2. Insert the DL5 off-line programming disk into the floppy drive.
Normally, this is the “A” drive.
3. Type: MD \ DL5 [ENTER]
This step creates a sub-directory on the hard disk for the DL5 program
and files.
4. At the DOS prompt (C: \ >) type: CD \ DL5 [ENTER]
This step puts you into the DL5 sub-directory. While you are in the DL5
sub-directory, your computer will usually give you the sub-directory DOS
prompt (C:\DL5>).
5. At the DOS prompt (C: \DL5>) type: COPY A:DL5.EXE [ENTER]
The Off-line Programmer is now installed on your hard disk in the DL5
sub-directory.
6. Remove the DL5 off-line programming disk from the “A” drive and store
it in a safe place.
7. At the sub-directory DOS prompt (C: \DL5>) type: DL5 [ENTER] and the
off-line programming will begin.
