FlukeView for DOS v1.0  - README.TXT file

Thank you for using FlukeView software.  Below is some information 
that you will want to be aware of:

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-------------------
Personal Computer with 80286 or higher processor.
DOS 3.3 (or later)
Minimum of 512K memory available
Hard Drive
EGA or VGA monitor


USING EXTENDED MEMORY
---------------------
Performance will be increased by using extended memory.  If
your computer has extended memory, you should load the HIMEM.SYS
device driver that is provided with DOS 5.0 and later, or some 
other extended memory manager.  Computers with extended memory 
will also benefit from using a disk cache such as the MS-DOS
SmartDrive or other disk cache program.

 
STORAGE OF INCOMING TREND DATA
------------------------------ 
When collecting trend data from your instrument with this software, 
it will store the incoming data into a temporary file in the directory 
that you start the program in.  When starting the program, be sure the
current disk drive has enough room for this temporary storage file.


USING WITH MICROSOFT WINDOWS
----------------------------
This software is designed to be run from MS-DOS.  It is possible, 
however, to run it from a DOS prompt in Microsoft Windows as long
as the DOS session is running in full screen mode.


COMMUNICATIONS TROUBLESHOOTING
------------------------------
This software will attempt to automatically establish communications
when it is started.  If the software does not seem to be connecting
and you wish to bypass this process, then start the program with
the /n switch (example: fv860dos /n).  Troubleshoot by checking both 
ends of the RS-232 cable connection and verifying what communication
paramters are shown in the instrument setup.  After these checks, you
can select the "Communications" menu item in the software to manually 
establish a connection.  Once a successful connection is made, the 
communication settings can be saved by exiting the program.
