Start Up
Quick Start Up
Start Up Optional Modes
You can start ANASOFT in certain modes by adding parameters to the
command at start up. These command line options include:
• /e
Operates the program in Edit mode. The program operates normally
but it does not communicate with the controllers or require the soft-
ware key. You can operate the program in Edit mode without any
hardware connected to the computer. This mode is useful for initial
familiarization, training, and Off Line job editing.
• /c
Forces the graphics display into CGA mode. This is necessary on
some computers which are not truly IBM compatible.
• /d
Operates the program in the Debug mode. This is useful in debug-
ging communications problems. Don’t use it for normal opera-
tions. All communications between the computer and controllers
are displayed on the printer. Therefore, in order to use this mode,
the printer must be connected and ready.
You can use capital or small letters in the command line, and more
than one command line option at a time. For example: Typing
ANA-EV /E /C [enter] will operate the program in Edit mode with
CGA graphics.
• Make sure the software key is installed.
• Set correctly time and date in your computer.
• Type: ANA-EV or ANA-RS or ANA-CP depending on your
ANASOFT version. Job Select screen appears.
• Type a job’s name. When starting the first time, enter DEFAULT.
• Type D for downloading parameters to the controller, or U for
uploading. For initial testing in the Edit mode, enter D.
• Overview screen appears.
