Using PC/1000
Given below are some instructions on using PC/1000:
• Explore the package. Select the icons on the Main Page (Setup, Files, Communications,
and Utilities) and familiarize yourself with what each one does. Each Main Page icon
brings up a menu containing functions that you can perform. Each menu item brings up a
form that you can use to define your application or perform operations on your data. Each
form has a Help button which displays Help screens pertaining to the form or topic
displayed. If you get into an area of the package and you do not know how to proceed,
click Help for more information.
• Complete the Setup/System Types form.
• Go to the Setup/Fuel Sites form and verify that all your fuel site information is correct. If
it is not, make any changes at this time.
• If you intend to use autopolling, go to the Setup/Autopoll Setup form and select your
options.
• Go to the Files/Lockouts form to enter any lockout information updates you wish to send
down to your sites.
• Go to the Communications/Contact Site form and ensure that you can successfully
contact all your fuel sites.
• Once you begin using your PC/1000 package on a regular basis, we highly recommend
that you set up a schedule for performing regular backups of your PC/1000 data. Backups
can be performed from the Utilities form and also when you exit the PC/1000 software.
