Introduction

8. Printer Parallel Interface

The printer parallel interface port is required for the Watlow-Anafaze
software key. The Watlow-Anafaze software key must be installed on
the printer port. System operation of the controllers is not possible
without the software key. [See Software key installation].

9. Battery backed up real time clock (usually battery backed CMOS

chip)

10. EGA/VGA Monitor

The EGA interface card will allow color trend plotting even with a
CGA monitor. The EGA/VGA monitor used with the EGA/VGA
interface provides improved text displays making all the screens eas-
ier to read. For systems that require frequent operator changes and
frequent observation, full EGA or VGA is recommended.

11. IBM Graphics Compatible Printer

This graphics printer is required for printing data and alarm logging
features of ANASOFT-EV. The printer is not needed for the software
key to operate, but if the printer is used, it must be ON LINE to oper-
ate ANASOFT.
