To modify the CONFIG.SYS file, the following entries must be in the CONFIG.SYS file to execute the DataView

program:

DEVICE = \DOS\HIMEM.SYS

ii. DEVICE = \DOS\EMM386.EXE X=C800--CFFF I=DOOO--DFFF V
iii. DEVICE = \DOS\POWER.EXE
iv. DEVICE = \DOS\INTERLINK.EXE
v.

DOS = HIGH, UMB

vi. FILES = 40
vii. BUFFERS = 30

The other entries should have “REM” entered before each entry. This will retain the information in the file, but the

entry will not be executed. For example; the entry, “DEVICE = \PCM\DPMS.EXE” should be changed to “REM

DEVICE = \PCM\DPMS.EXE.”

Running The Program At The MS--DOS Prompt

This section describes the procedure for executing the program from the MS--DOS prompt.
1. Reboot the computer into the MS-DOS mode. DO NOT start windows, this will reduce the amount of memory

available for the Data View program.
2. Change directory to the DataView directory by typing: CD \DATAVIEW or CD \SCROLLDV

3. At the MS--DOS prompt type: DATAVIEW to run the program.

Changing Program Behavior

This section describes the two methods to change the behavior of the DataView program.
1) Start the DataView program and go to the Program Setup screen. From this screen the user can set up the program

to run on their computer.

2) To add control parameters to the DataView main program, start at the MS--DOS prompt and type “directory --“pa-

rameter” where “directory” is the resident directory (DATAVIEW, SCROLLDV or other directory des-

ignation), then space dash and “parameter” is the parameter you want to change.

The following are valid parameters:
1. To set the temperature units to Celsius, type: “DIRECTORY” --TC .
2. To set the temperature units to Fahrenheit, type: “DIRECTORY” --TF .
3. To convert the RAW files to DCX files, type: “DIRECTORY” --CONVERT .
4. To run on monochrome monitors (i.e., HP Palmtop), type: “DIRECTORY” --P .
5. To run on color monitors, type: “DIRECTORY” --D .
6. To set the communications port (i.e., port where the Carrier module is connected), type: “DIRECTORY” --COM1

or “DIRECTORY” --COM2

The above options can be combined. For instance, type: DATAVIEW --TF --D would set the reciprocating

software program to run with Fahrenheit temperature units and a color monitor.

TOPIC 3 MENU BASICS

This section describes how to use the DOS DataView interrogator menu system.
Nearly the entire DataView Program can be run with these keystrokes:
1. RIGHT and LEFT Arrow keys move through the boxes on the screen.
2. UP and DOWN Arrow keys move vertically within a menu box.
3. ENTER selects an option.
4. ESC cancels the current screen and moves back to the previous screen.
5. H displays the help screen.
6. ALT--X exits the program and returns to the DOS prompt.
7. F9 attempts to reconnect the DataView program to the DataCORDER.
Throughout the program the user will be able to use the alphanumeric keys to select a feature without using the arrow

keys. Upon pressing an alphanumeric key the selected feature is executed. In addition the user will be able to use the

mouse to select a feature. Upon single clicking the left mouse button, the feature the pointer is on is executed.
