Description
The Site Master Software Tools program provides the means for transferring the measured
trace, along with any applied markers and/or a limit, to the screen of an MS-DOS based
personal computer (PC) running Windows 95/98/NT.
Requirements
The Site Master Software Tools program is a standard Windows program and will run on
any computer that will run Windows 95/98/NT. Typically, this means having a PC with the
following characteristics:
·
Pentium microprocessor (100 MHz or better, recommended)
·
Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT
·
32 MBytes of memory, minimum
·
Approximately 15 MBytes of available hard drive space
Communication Port Setting
The Site Master Software Tools communicates with the Site Master through a standard
COM port on the PC. It is important that your Windows COM port settings conform to the
actual hardware settings. Since various add-in devices such as sound cards, modems, and
network cards use IRQ (Interrupts), it is possible that your computer has non-standard
COM port settings. Please consult your computer vendor for COM port address and IRQ in
-
formation.
