START UP
Start Up Errors
During Start up, various error messages may appear. The following
tables describe these messages, their causes and solutions.
Memory allocation errors
ANASCAN allocates computer memory for the channel parameters,
based on the number of channels and options in the system. When
ANASCAN reads in the system data files and finds there isn’t sufficient
memory, these messages may appear:
Message Cause Solution
Insufficient
Memory Not enough memory to allocate
data arrays required to run the pro-
gram. The program cannot run and
it terminates. • Check the memory by
running the DOS com-
mand CHKDSK. At least
580K should be free.
• Make sure your computer
has 640K memory, and
remove any memory resi-
dent programs and driv-
ers. Check
AUTOEXEC.BAT file to
see if it runs any memory
resident programs. After
removing these programs,
re-boot the computer.
MEM ERROR:
Alarm Queue Not enough memory to allocate the
alarm log memory. The program
operates, but the view alarms
screen doesn’t display alarm queue. Same as above.
Trend Logging
Disabled Not enough memory to allocate
some or all of the trend logging
memory queues. The program
operates normally, but the trend
plotting is not available. Same as above.
