Kipp&Zonen Brewer MkIII - Manual (Page 92)

MKIII OPERATOR’S MANUAL 89
APPENDIX D NOBREWER
It is often useful to be able to operate the Brewer software without having a Brewer connected to
the Computer.
A batch file, C:\NOBREW.BAT, has been developed which sets a number of operating parameters
to make the software think that Brewer communications are taking place.
In this mode of operation a number of operations can be done:
-- Schedules can be written using SE and the solar angle information can be printed using SA.
-- Dates and time can be changed as can Site Information and Brewer number.
-- Configuration , Instrument Constant, and Operating State Files can be updated and saved.
A Brewer must not be connected to the COM: port that is defined in the Configuration file and is
being accessed by NOBREW.
Quite often the Brewer sotware is installed on a second computer and NOBREW is operated away
from the Brewer.
