File Locations
360k dual floppy disk system:
Watlow Anafaze recommends that you store the ANASCAN operating
program file and the INSTAL.DAT file on drive A, and all other files on
drive B. Once the program SCANINST is run, you can remove
SCANINST.EXE from drive B to allow more room for data. Do not
remove files from the master disk. This recommendation ensures that
the autoboot feature will bring up the program automatically in the
occurance of a power outage.
720k or higher floppy disk system:
Watlow Anafaze recommends that you store all files of the ANASCAN
operating program on one drive such as A. Use the B drive to store all
recording data by setting up directories as shown in the hard disk system
recommendations.
Hard disk systems:
Watlow Anafaze recommends setting up directories as follows:
ANASCAN - to contain the operating program, system data and job
files
DATALOG - to contain data logging files generated by ANASCAN
ALARMLOG - to contain alarm logging files generated by ANASCAN
