To modify the CONFIG.SYS file, the following entries must be in the CONFIG.SYS file to execute the DataView program:
i.DEVICE = \DOS\HIMEM.SYS
ii.DEVICE = \DOS\EMM386.EXE
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.”

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
The following are valid parameters:
1.To set the temperature units to Celsius, type: “DIRECTORY”
2.To set the temperature units to Fahrenheit, type: “DIRECTORY”
3.To convert the RAW files to DCX files, type: “DIRECTORY”
4.To run on monochrome monitors (i.e., HP Palmtop), type: “DIRECTORY”
5.To run on color monitors, type: “DIRECTORY”
6.To set the communications port (i.e., port where the Carrier module is connected), type: “DIRECTORY”
The above options can be combined. For instance, type: DATAVIEW
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.
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.
