Hard disk systems:

Watlow-Anafaze recommends setting up directories as follows:

ANASOFT - to contain the operating program, system data and job files

DATALOG - to contain data logging files generated by ANASOFT

ALARMLOG - to contain alarm logging files generated by ANASOFT

For easy removal of recorded data, you may install the DATALOG and
ALARMLOG directories on the B drive. If you use A drive for data
recording, you will not be able to use the automatic reboot

Copy all the supplied files to the ANASOFT directory.

Installation Program

The installation program, ANAINSTL.EXE, customizes each
ANASOFT program for the application. When typing C:ANAINSTL (if
it’s on the hard disk), or B:ANAINSTL (if it’s on drive B), The
installation screen appears and enables you to select parameters used by
ANASOFT.

ANAINSTL.EXE stores the program setup parameters in a file called
INSTAL.DAT. When Run, the ANAINSTL program reads the
INSTAL.DAT file from the default disk directory. If both files are on the
same disk directory, enter the directory and type ANAINSTL.

If the ANAINSTL.EXE and INSTAL.DAT file are on different
directories, enter the disk directory containing INSTAL.DAT and type
ANAINSTL preceded by the path to the disk directory containing
ANAINSTL. For example, if INSTAL.DAT is on drive A and
ANAINSTL.EXE on drive B, type :

B:>A: [Enter] to change the current default drive to A

A:>B:ANAINSTL [Enter] to start the installation program

If the installation program cannot find INSTAL.DAT, an error message
appears. Verify the location of INSTAL.DAT file.
